Or you can put 


If Ben saved $5/week, it would take him 60 weeks to save $300. If Ben saved $10/week, it would take him 30 weeks to save $300. If Ben wants to purchase the bike sooner, he will have to evaluate his current budget to determine where he can save more money. Ben could work extra or save more per week to get the bike sooner, or he could also find a less expensive bike to buy.
