Placing the phrase "each week" at the end of the sentence means that Marsha needs to save $10 every week to reach her goal of buying a new bike. Putting the phrase "each week" at the beginning of the sentence makes it seem like Marsha needs to buy a new bike every week instead of saving $10 each week. The placement of the phrase changes the focus of the sentence and the action Marsha needs to take.
