It will take 32 weeks

Brian already has $88. So 200-88=112
So he needs 112 more dollars
SO
112 divided by 3.50 is 32

so it will take 32 weeks

He has $88 so subtract that amount from the $200. That's the difference between the two and the amount he will save at $3.50 per week. Divide that amount by the $3.50 and it will tell you how many weeks it will take Brian to have $200 in his savings.
$200-$88=$112 $112/ $3.50=32 weeks

Start with the $200 you need, and subtract out the $88 you have:

$200 needed -$88 you have = $112 you still need to save.

Now, take $112 divided by $3.50/week:

$112
------- = 32 weeks.
$3.50

Check your work: 32 weeks X $3.50/week = $112, and
$112 saved added to the $88 in savings = $200.

Good luck!

OK...he needs $112.00 more to get to $200 (88 + 112). $112 divided by $3.50 = 32. So 32 weeks.
