Problem of the Week
Problem A
Savings

Nethra is saving to buy a new gaming system. She needs $\mathrm{\$}829$ in total to buy the console. She has already saved $\mathrm{\$}117$.

Nethra has two part-time jobs. She works at a grocery store every Tuesday and Thursday for $2$ hours each day. From the grocery store job she earns $\mathrm{\$}15$ per hour. She works at a restaurant every Saturday for $5$ hours. From the restaurant job she earns $\mathrm{\$}13$ per hour.

Nethra gets paid every week on Sunday. That day she pays her parents $\mathrm{\$}10$ for transportation and buys herself $\mathrm{\$}5$ worth of treats. She saves the rest of the money she earned during the week.

How many weeks does Nethra have to work until she has saved enough money to buy the gaming system?
