Placing the phrase "each week" before "buying a new bike" implies that Marsha needs to save $10 every week specifically for the purpose of buying a new bike. This suggests a consistent and ongoing effort to save towards her goal. On the other hand, placing the phrase "each week" after "save $10" implies that Marsha needs to save $10 each week for any reason, and that ultimately this consistent saving will allow her to reach her goal of buying a new bike. This suggests a more general commitment to saving money regularly, with the specific goal of buying a bike being a potential outcome.
