The amount Riley needs to save is $1,475.07 - $200.07 = $1,275.00.
Riley earns $85.00 per week. To find out how many weeks she needs to work to save $1,275.00, we divide $1,275.00 by $85.00:
$1,275.00 / $85.00 = 15
So, Riley needs to work for 15 weeks to save enough money to buy the new television.
