Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

$\var{name}$ has an annual salary of € $\var{salary}$ and her standard cut-off point is € $\var{cut}$ . The standard rate of income tax is $\var{standard}$ % and the higher rate is $\var{higher}$ %. If she pays € $\var{tax}$ in income tax for the year, calculate her tax credit.

€Unnamed gap

Advice

First calculate the gross income tax:

standard rate:

$\var{cut} \times (\frac{\var{standard}}{100})$

higher rate:

$(\var{salary}-\var{cut}) \times (\frac{\var{higher}}{100})$

gross income tax = standard rate + higher rate

Then remember,

income tax = gross income tax - tax credit

=> tax credit = gross income tax - income tax

or mathematically:

$((\var{cut} \times \frac{\var{standard}}{100}) +((\var{salary}-\var{cut}) \times \frac{\var{higher}}{100})) - \var{tax} = €\var{ans}$
