Maria opens a savings account with $50 and then saves $19 each week. How many weeks will it take her account to reach $259?

Answer 1

It will take Maria $259 - $50 = $<<259-50=209>>209 in total to reach her goal.
Therefore, it will take her $209 / $19 = <<209/19=11>>11 weeks to reach her goal. Answer: \boxed{11}.
