The placement of the italicized phrase “each week” changes the focus of the sentence. In the first sentence, it clearly tells us that Marsha needs to save $10 every week to reach her goal. However, in the second sentence, it can be confusing because it seems like "each week" is describing the goal of buying a new bike instead of how much she is saving. This makes it less clear that her saving plan is the important part. So, the order of the words can change what we understand from the sentence.
