[tex]\begin{gathered} Let\text{ w represents the number of weeks, and} \\ We\text{ also assume that:} \\ He\text{ has saved \$ 24.} \\ The\text{ cost of the laptop = \$ 850,} \\ Then,\text{ the question that models the situation is:} \\ 24\text{ + 40 w = 850} \end{gathered}[/tex]CONCLUSION:
The final answer is:
[tex]24\text{ + 40 w = 850}[/tex]
