Assignment 1.18:

Assignment 1.19:A) In the histogram you find numbers of pupils and their degree of statisfaction. In the

circle graph you find percentages of the total amount with leisure activities. B) You first need to convert the numbers into percentages of the total number of pupils

that surveyed. You find the total number of pupils who surveyed by adding up the numbers per rectangle

C) The total of numbers of pupils is: 10+30+60+40+10=150Exceptionally statisfied: 10/150x100%=6.7%Highly statisfied: 30/150x100%=20%Satisfied: 60/150x100%=40%Reasonable satisfied: 40/150x100%=26.7%Not so satisfied:10/150x100%=6.7%

When you add this all up you will get 100,1%, you may round it of on 101 that is also allowed.

Assignment 1.20A) By the first column and than in the last bit of that. There stands less than an hour per

week. Than you know that you are probably wright. Than you go and look in which row the age from 12 to 18 stands. Above the second column you see 12 to 18. And than you go down with your finger where the your first answer was. So the answer is row 5 and column 2

Assignment 2.8:A) the part= 107, that’s the height of Mary after 3 years. The whole= 82, that's the

height after a year. 107/82x100= 130.5%. B) You need to subtract 100 from the percentage because here set up height was

already 100%, so 130.5-100= 30.5%. So she has grown 30.5% more.

Assignment 2.9:A) 1.600/64= 25. 25x100=2500. So here income before she retired it's 2500B) 380 billion/80= 4.75 billion. 4.75 billion x100= 475 billion. So the national income is

475 billion

Assignment 2.106.05 million-6.2 million/ 6.2 million x 100= -2.4%. So the jobs are with a percentage of 2.4 decreased. So that means 1 on the 148800 people is dismissed. In one year, it can be included by an faliciment like V&D now, more people get fired by then. Also if big companies or small companies can have effects in how much people get fired each year.

So it's not possible that A+B would become C.

Assignment 2.12 EU: 195 billion/13,050 billion x100= 1,5% China: 176 billion/ 2,520 billion x100= 7%

Assignment 2.13A) In absolute term Gino pays more tax than Maria. Because he pays 17,200 tax and she

Maria: 8,400/28,000 x100= 29,4%So Maria pays more Tax proportional because she has 29,4% and Gino has 21.5%

Assignment 2.14A) 400/1,000 x100= 40%

500/1,500 x100 = 33.3%600/2,000 x100 = 30%On the budget of 1000, 40% is spend on food. On the budget of 1500, 33.3% is spend on food. On the budget of 2000, 30% is spend on food.

Assignment 2.17A) Market share schoenenreus:

40.000/120.000x100=33.3% or 1/3B) Market share schoenenreus next year:

50,000/120,000x100=41.6%C) Incorrect because than they are talking about the % what the market share in total

has increased and not specific the schoenenreus it selfD) 50,000-40,000= 10,000

10,000/40,000=0,250,25x100= 25%

Assignment 2.20When you have a balanced budget you don't have to worry about your future (if you have enough money for later, will my kids have enough money later end so on) which means you have less stress than people with no balanced budget. Also you have that much money that you don't have to borrow that often and you don't have to pay interest to the banks that you have money borrowed, so you have more money left. You can do more things than other ones without a balanced budget and you can spend money more freely.

Assignment 2.21A) you can earn extra money

you can get fired, and than you have no income anymoreExpenture is more or less expensive. So you can or can't spend a lot of money without any consequences

B) earn more money by working more besides your own job you already have

borrow money, but than you also have dept because you have to pay it back on a certain period, otherwise they will take (beslag) on your stuff.Spend less money on things that are not really necessary

Assignment 2.22A) (I calculate again and than it was 528, so it the answer is 582!!)

B) beginning of January: €20income: €556,17Expenditure: €530So it is 558,17-530=28,17 26,17+20,00=46,17

C) Jan reserve €48,17 at the end of the month January. This is the amount of money he can reserve for February or other things he like.

Assignment 2.23A) 15% of the kids with a age of 12 have already a sideline job and 1/3 have already a

holiday job. But you only may have a paid job when you are at the age of 13 years. So

in this way it is maybe cild labour but almost every cild does it voluntary to earn more money.

B) The hotel and catering industry because it's so busy which can lead under early stress which can lead to a early burnout by a very young kid at the age for example 15 or 16 years.

C) Kids may and can choose on their own from the age of 12 if they want a teen job like reclame folders or babysitting. The earlier they can experience with working and getting money, the more they will think about it and spend their money more wisely like they did before they had their job

D) When kids are only focusing on their job and earning money on a young age than school would not that important and they have no time any more to play outside or do fun things like every kid from there age should do.

Assignment 2.24- How much can I earn in one month/week/day- If she get any discount in the restaurant or even for free- If there is maybe an change that she can get an permanent contract- If she can swim (after work) for free in the swimming pool.

Assignment 2.25The fight of an higher weigh ratio is much higher because everyone become an free rider. The permanent contracts are not that popular anymore, until some point all the permanent contracts are gone. Until more and more members and membership wouldn't exist anymore.

Assignment 2.26

The picture of 2.26 is on the other page……. Because the picture was too big to put over here. And if I did he put everything down………………….

Assignment 2.26

Assignment 2.27Net salary is the take home salary of the employee while gross salary is salary an employee gets every time on the bankNet salary = after the deductions Gross salary = before the deduction

Assignment 2.28Gross wage = 12x830=9.960Wage tax (year)= 12x91.58= 1.098,96Monthly basis= 91,58/830=0,11 0,11x100= 11%

Assignment 2.29a) a person who works for legitimately needs to pay tax and premium on their wage.

While a person who works for undeclared doesn’t have to pay this amounts at all. While the law that the government made up many years up ago there stands that you have to pay tax on your wage…

income Tax you need to payUntil 19.822 euros 36,52%19.822-57.585 euros 42%57.585 euros or higher 52%

b) The wage= €91.58Marleen needs to divide this amount into two, because she gets half of this which become her monthly income€91.58/2 = €45.79

Assignment 2.30A) if something happens to you, you can’t pay it because when you do undeclared work you don’t get any benefit for this. Because you need to pay and participate the society work to get an benefit if your ill or if you had an car accident. This is why people who de undeclared work will die from things that could have been treaded if they did just normal work like almost all the people do in the Netherlands.B) - the people who do undeclared work have lower rights on their pension - the most people who do undeclared work (china/India/japan/Asia) have all really poor work conditions….. - those people have no wright to speak in the public because they didn’t hold them all to the law, and those countries think that they didn’t make those laws for nothingC) all legal works needs to pay tax and wage. If all illegal works should stop with working on the black market than more and more tax and premium could come in into the country. If this happened the government can take some consequences an could be lower the tax in their whole country for all the people who live there. This is also good for the country it self because it will rise on the national gross product! Because the net wage salary from every employer goes up and the gross wage will become much lower than it first was.D) I think I would go for declared working, because with cash in hand working your boss need to be sneaky to give you some money so that YOU don’t have to pay any tax. But there’s also something wrong with declared working, like in 2014 in France 10,600 people died because they did declared work!!!!!!!

Assignment 2.31A) No, because yes I do work but I do baby sitting and holiday jobs. Soon I will work much more because than I have the age to work more and then you have also more kind of variation.B) - that you and your boss don’t agree about the amount of money you get every month/year/week (wage) - that your boss thinks that you have done something wrong but you know strongly that you didn’t did that or that you weren’t even working that day - that you make an huge mistake and people were getting injured, your boss says that is was your fault again but you said that is was the material and the oether stuff you got from the company your working with

C) Yes, because some people need my money more than I do. Because the only thing I need it for is for fun things and clothes, so I can defenelty miss €12 every month. It hurts when you are going out with friends and buy stuff where you already knew from you are never going to use it ever, when I think about that I think that people or even children from the money that I just spend on some rubbish they had could by food for a whole month or something like that…… we need to be happy that we have that much money and can spend, but are we all really that egoism to give some people a bit of our happiness???????

Assignment 2.32A) An school can only take over the MR’s advice for doing things, if it went wrong the MR is not respond for that because they only give them an advice B) I don’t really have an problem. I have good friends, a good home and an dear family. That’s everything you need to be very happy. But maybe I would be more happy if……. I don’t get that much injured. But I may not complain, because kids on the other side of the world wants to have my life and they will take the risks and everything with it.
