Solution

Sure, here are the steps to solve this problem:

  1. First, we need to find out how much Mr. Simes saves every week. We do this by multiplying his weekly earnings by the percentage he sets aside. In this case, that's 33607/100=3360 * 7/100 = 235.2. So, Mr. Simes saves $235.2 every week.

  2. Next, we need to find out how much he saves in a year. There are 52 weeks in a year, so we multiply the weekly savings by 52. That's 235.252=235.2 * 52 = 12,230.4.

So, Mr. Simes will accumulate $12,230.4 in his holiday savings account over one year.
