Jeffery wants to save the same amount of money each week to buy a new bike. He needs $238. If he wants the bike in 14 weeks, how much money should Jeffery save each week? Jeffery should save $ each week.

Answer: Jeffery should save $17 each week

Step-by-step explanation:

Jeffery wants to save the same amount of money each week to buy a new bike.

Let x = amount of money that Jeffrey saves each week.

Jeffrey is saving each week in order to buy a bike that would cost him $238.

Since the amount he wants to save the same amount per week and he wants the bike in 14 weeks, the constant amount which Jeffrey should be saving every week, $x is calculated below,

x * number of weeks = amount needed

x * 14 = 238

14x = 238

x = 238/14

= $17
