your trying to save up some money for a present for your mom. The present can't be more then $200. You already have $80 saved and you get $20 a week. How many weeks will it take you to save up the rest of the money ?

verbal model : 80 + 20w <= 200
define the variable : the variable is w and it represents the number of weeks
solve :
80 + 20w <= 200
20w <= 200 - 80
20w <= 120
w <= 120/20
w <= 6
