A-level maths, coding/standard deviation

I keep getting the wrong answer every time I attempt this question, any help would be appreciated!

The weekly income, i , of 100 women workers was recorded.
the data were coded using y=(i-90)/100 and the following summations were obtained:
∑y=131, ∑y ²=176.84

Work out an estimate for the standard deviation of the actual women workers' weekly income.

It would be good to see what you tried, even if its wrong.
