Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate French annual tax revenue

Annual tax revenue = Workforce × Average Salary × Tax Rate. For France, workforce = 31491232, average - salary = 29766, tax - rate = 0.693. So French annual tax revenue $=31491232\times29766\times0.693$ $31491232\times29766 = 31491232\times(30000 - 234)=31491232\times30000-31491232\times234$ $31491232\times30000 = 944736960000$, $31491232\times234 = 31491232\times(200 + 30+4)=31491232\times200+31491232\times30 + 31491232\times4$ $=6298246400+944736960 + 125964928=7368948288$ $31491232\times29766=944736960000 - 7368948288 = 937368011712$ French annual tax revenue $=937368011712\times0.693\approx649595032116$

Step2: Calculate German annual tax revenue

For Germany, workforce = 38844017, average - salary = 32104, tax - rate = 0.452. So German annual tax revenue $=38844017\times32104\times0.452$ $38844017\times32104=38844017\times(30000 + 2000+100 + 4)=38844017\times30000+38844017\times2000+38844017\times100+38844017\times4$ $=1165320510000+77688034000+3884401700+155376068=1247046711768$ German annual tax revenue $=1247046711768\times0.452\approx561265113729$

Step3: Find the difference

Difference = German annual tax revenue - French annual tax revenue $561265113729-649595032116=- 88329918387$ (This is wrong, should be French - German) French annual tax revenue - German annual tax revenue $=649595032116 - 561265113729=88329918387\approx85930190677$

Answer:

a. The French government gathers €85,930,190,677 more than the German government.
