€Round your answer to 2 decimal places.Expected answer:

First find the gross tax (as in the previous question).

This is $\var{standard}$ % of his total wages. First find 1% of his wages and then multiply by 100 to find his total wages.

Advice

First calculate gross income tax

gross income tax = income tax + tax credit

Then, divide by standard rate of income tax, $\var{standard}$ % (or multiply by $\frac{100}{\var{standard}})$

$(€\var{tax} + €\var{credit}) \times (\frac{100}{\var{standard}}) = €\var{ans}$
