Frank has saved $15 towards the $95 phone he wants to buy. He makes $5 per week delivering papers. How many weeks must he work until he has enough money?

My answer is 16 weeks
Is this correct?

Yes, 16 weeks.

Thank you

You're welcome.

To determine the number of weeks Frank must work until he has enough money, we can break down the problem step by step:

1. Frank currently has $15 saved.
2. He needs to save a total of $95 for the phone.
3. Frank makes $5 per week delivering papers.

To calculate the number of weeks Frank must work, we can set up an equation:

Total Savings = Current Savings + (Weekly Earnings * Number of Weeks)

In this case, the equation would be:

$95 = $15 + ($5 * Number of Weeks)

To isolate the variable "Number of Weeks" on one side of the equation, we need to subtract $15 from both sides:

$95 - $15 = $5 * Number of Weeks

Simplifying the equation:

$80 = $5 * Number of Weeks

To solve for the variable "Number of Weeks," we can divide both sides by $5:

$80 / $5 = Number of Weeks

Number of Weeks = 16

Therefore, Frank must work 16 weeks until he has enough money to buy the phone.

Your answer of 16 weeks is indeed correct.
