Answer:

£104

Step-by-step explanation:

Matthew's wage is £320 per week.

5/8 of his wage is spent on food. 5/8 of £320 is:

$\frac{5}{8} * 320$ = £200

5% goes on the household bills. 5% of £320 is:

$\frac{5}{100} * 320$ = £16

The amount left to save is therefore:

320 - (200 + 16) = 320 - 216 = £104

Matthew saves £104.
