5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

$ 9 an hr for 30 hrs ... (9 * 30) = $270

they deduct $ 27 from her weekly check

so she clears (270 - 27) = $ 243 per week

she wants to get to $ 1200 ...

1200 / 243 = 4.94 weeks ... we are gonna have to round up to 5 weeks because 4 weeks is just a little short.
