    Red face need help

    hey guys i really need some help with my program.here is the question:

    You found an exciting summer programming job for 5 weeks. It pays $15.50 per hour.
    Suppose that the total tax you pay on your summer job income is 14%. After paying the
    taxes, you spend 10% of your net income to buy new clothes and other accessories for the
    next school year and 1% to buy school supplies. After buying clothes and school
    supplies, you use 25% of the remaining money to buy saving bonds. For each dollar you
    spend to buy saving bond, your parents spend$0.50 to buy additional saving bonds for
    you. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the pay rate for an hour and the
    number of hours worked each week. The program then outputs the following:
    a. Your income before and after taxes from your summer job
    b. The money you spend on clothes and other accessories
    c. The money you spend on school supplies
    d. The money you spend to buy saving bonds
    e. The money your parents spend to buy additional saving bonds for you

    And here is my program code please can you help me improve it.
    import java.util.*;
    class Question1
    {
    	static Scanner console  = new Scanner(system.in);
    	public static void main(String[] args) 
    	{
     
    	final double RATE = 15.50;	
    	final double Total_Tax = 0.14;
    	double hourwork,income,netincome,moneyclothes,moneysupplies,moneysavingbond,moneyparent,remaingmoney;
     
     
    	System.out.println("Enter the number of hour work each week:");   //assumpition maximum number of hours per week is 40 hours
        hourwoke = console.nextDouble();
     
        if (hourwork <=40)
        {
        income = RATE * hoursworked
     
    	netincome = income - (income * Total_Tax)
    	System.out.println("The total net income is :$" + netincome);
     
    	moneyclothes = netincome * 0.10;
    	System.out.println("The money spent on clothes and accessories:$" + moneyclothes);
     
    	moneysupplies = netincome * 0.01;
    	System.out.println("The money spent on school supplies:$" + moneysupplies); 
     
    	moneysavingbond = netincome * 0.25;
    	System.out.println("The money spent to buy saving bonds:$" + moneysavinmgbond); 
     
    	moneyparent= netincome * 0.5;
    	System.out.println("The money spent by parent to by additional saving bonds:$" + moneyparent);
     
     
    	}
     
    	}
    }
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAVAFORUM.
