Tom has a goal of saving enough money to buy a new set of rims for his car.

Tom makes $7. 50 an hour take home pay at his job working 15 hours per week.

The earning of Tom in an hour = $7.5

If tom worked 15 hours in a week, then the amount earned by him in one week is;

$=15\times 7.5\\\\=112.5$

The required amount to achieve his goal = $900

The number of week he need to work to achieve his target is;

$= \dfrac{900}{112.5}\\\\= 8$

Hence, It will take 8 weeks to Tom to achieve his goal.
