You can put this solution on YOUR website! She needs 112
She saves 14 per week
Question: How many weeks before she saves 112?
So our variable, the unknown, is "how many weeks". Let's call them x.
Now we have
14x = 112 Divide both sides by 14:
x = 8 There you have it. She has to save during 8 weeks.
