To find out how many weeks it will take for Jan to reach $600 by saving $25 per week, we can set up the equation based on her current amount and her weekly savings.
1. Start with her current amount: $130
2. We want to find out how much more she needs to save to reach $600:
\[
600 - 130 = 470
\]
So, she needs to save an additional $470.
3. Now, divide the amount she needs to save by her weekly savings:
\[
\frac{470}{25} = 18.8
\]
Since Jan can only save a whole number of weeks, we round up to the next whole number.
Therefore, she will need **19 weeks** to save enough money to reach $600.
