Hoeveel procent gaat Samia minder verdienen dan Max?
Rond het antwoord af op hele procenten.

To determine how much less Samia will earn compared to Max, we need to calculate their respective earnings based on the salary percentages given in the table and then find the percentage difference.

1. **Salary percentage for Samia (16 years old):**
   - Percentage: 34.5%

2. **Salary percentage for Max (19 years old):**
   - Percentage: 60%

3. **Hourly wage for a 21-year-old and older:**
   - Wage: €12.45 per hour

4. **Calculate the hourly wage for Samia:**
   - Samia's wage = 34.5% of €12.45
   - Samia's wage = 0.345 × €12.45 ≈ €4.30

5. **Calculate the hourly wage for Max:**
   - Max's wage = 60% of €12.45
   - Max's wage = 0.60 × €12.45 ≈ €7.47

6. **Calculate the difference in earnings:**
   - Difference = Max's wage - Samia's wage
   - Difference ≈ €7.47 - €4.30 ≈ €3.17

7. **Calculate the percentage difference relative to Max's wage:**
   - Percentage difference = \(\frac{Difference}{Max's wage} \times 100\)
   - Percentage difference = \(\frac{€3.17}{€7.47} \times 100\) ≈ 42.44%

After rounding to the nearest whole number:

\[ \boxed{42\%} \]
