Answer: 12 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

If Keith wants tgo have at least 200 in his account at the end of summer you need to minus it from the original 500 to make a new total.

Now you will have $300 to work with.

Since Keith needs $25 a week you will divide your new total ($300) by 25 and it will give you the number of weeks he can sustain this budget.

300/25=12
