The student is not correct.
Absolute value means distance from zero
|-9| = 9
|4| = 4
Since 9 is greater than 4,
|-9| is greater than |4|
In other words, -9 is further from zero then 4

Answer:
Amount of VAT paid by Jeremy is € 9.31 .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
In Germany, VAT is at 19% .
Jeremy buys a calculator in Germany for €58.31
This price includes VAT.
Let us assume that the cost of calculator excluding tax is x .
19% is written in the decimal form .

= 0.19 
VAT Price = 0.19 × Cost price of calculator excluding VAT
                  = 0.19 × x 
                  = 0.19x
Than 
Cost of calaculator + VAT price = Cost of calculator including VAT 
x + 0.19 × x = 58.31 
x + 0.19x = 58.31 
1.19x = 58.31 

x = €49  (Approx)
Thus cost price of calculator excluding VAT is €49  .
VAT Price = 0.19 × Cost price of calculator excluding VAT
                 = 0.19 × 49  
                  = € 9.31 
Therefore the amount of VAT paid by Jeremy is € 9.31 .
