Feb. 4th, 2004 05:59 pmа хотите посмотреть какого типа задачки встречаются в exam papers? Ну это типа наших школьных билетов, экзамены на junior certificate (считайте аттестат за 9 классов, то есть кто-то дальше пойдет учиться, кто-то уже уйдет работать). Математику Славка взял высшего уровня (higher level) и я бы не сказала, что она очень легкая - иногда приходится помогать, предварительно въехав как это звучит по-английски. Но есть задачки,вызывающие нервный смех и ностальгию по "из пункта А в пункт Б":)
Например (кажется это из первого курса вообще):
The standart rate of income tax is 20% and the higher rate is 42%. For a single person, the annual personal tax credit is €1520 and the standart rate cut-off point is €28000.
Brian earns €22000 per annum and Mary earns €36000 per annum. Both of them are single and have no tax credits other than the personal tax credit.
1) Calculate the tax payable by Brian for the year.
2) Calculate the tax payable by Mary for the year.
3) If Brian and Mary were married to each other, their joint personal tax credit would be €3040 and their joint standard rate cut-off point would be €56000.
How much less tax would they have to pay between them in this case?
