For the truck, you will need to save an additional $8,500, which will take you 34 weeks at $250 per week. So, you'll be able to purchase it in about 34 weeks.
For the fishing rod and reel, you'll need a total of $400. At $50 a week, it will take you 8 weeks to save enough, which is less than 10 weeks.
