Verified Answer :

195.75/8= 24.47. 40/8=5 24.47-5= 19.47.

19.47

Answer:

20 weeks (Exactly 19.46 weeks)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total cost of the bicycle = $195.75

Saved Money  = $40

Remaining amount required = 195.75 - 40 = $155.75

Time taken to save $8 = 1 week

Time taken to save $1 = @@MATH_TOKEN_0@@

Thus, time taken to save $155.75 is

\(=\frac{1}{8}\times 155.75\)

\(=19.46\)

Constance will need to save $8 for around 20 weeks to save enough money to buy the bicycle.
