Solution:

Given that, Blake dad needs 165 dollars for a new suitcase

He saves an equal amount for 3 weeks

To find: Amount saved each week

From given,

Total amount = 165 dollars

Number of weeks = 3

Therefore, the formula for amount saved each week is given by:

$\text{Amount saved each week } = \frac{\text{ Total amount }}{\text{ Number of weeks }}$

Substituting the values we get,

$\text{Amount saved each week } = \frac{165}{3}\\\\\text{Amount saved each week } = 55$

Thus 55 dollars is saved each week
