Numeracy exam for Adult and Child Nursing Interview

How do I work this question out?
“Student Lucie is going on a £250 holiday; she has paid the deposit of 10%. With 15 weeks to pay the balance; how much does she need to save each week?”
The right answer was £15 but I worked out to £16. I haven’t prepared as much as I should have since I prioritised my coursework and now I’m stressing over the interview’s numeracy test. I’m not bad at maths it’s just that I haven’t practiced enough and could really use some help on how to work it out properly.
Deposit of 10% means she paid £25, leaving £225 to pay in 15 weeks.

225/15 = 15.
