I don't have the numbers from the rest of the problem — how much he owes in total and how much he has already paid. With those you can get an exact answer.
General method:
1. Compute the remaining amount: Remaining = Total owed − Amount already paid.
2. If he pays $5 per week, the number of weeks = Remaining ÷ 5.
3. If the problem requires whole weeks (he must make $5 payments), round that quotient up to the next whole number (use the ceiling). If partial final payments are allowed, you can use the exact quotient.
Examples:
- If he still owes $30: 30 ÷ 5 = 6 weeks.
- If he still owes $32: 32 ÷ 5 = 6.4, so 7 full $5 weeks (or 6 weeks plus a $2 final payment if partial allowed).
Tell me the total owed and amount already paid and I’ll compute the exact number of weeks.
