Answer:
(x)/(10)-y

Explanation:

Given : A man earned x pesos in 10 days and spent y pesos during each of those days.

i.e. Total earning in 10 days = x

Earning per day =
(x)/(10) [By unitary method] (1)

Money spent per day =y (2)

We know that

$\text{Savings = Money earned - Money spent}$

i.e. Subtract (2) from (1), we get

$\text{Savings = }(x)/(10)-y$

Hence, the expression to determine how many pesos he saved per day will be:-

(x)/(10)-y
