Answer
To find the hourly wage:
Total earnings per week = €95
Total hours worked per week = 10 hours
Earnings per hour = ( \frac{95}{10} = €9.50 ) per hour.

Kyle saves 70% of the €95 he earns each week. He spends the remainder of this money each Sunday. Work out how much money he spends each Sunday.
