I fixed that?  I always thought that if I use another function that I 
must be into ().
So In my opinion one () for the then part and one () for the function call.

Nope, check-expect is not explained on chapter section 3 of the book how 
to design programms. So I did not use that function.  I can make 
test-cases but then in this form

(= (/tarief 495/) 1,2375)

2) Which of these test cases produced wrong answers, and which (if any) 
produced right answers? You can use the pattern of right and wrong 
answers to track down where the problem is.

See answer1


3) Have you used the Stepper to watch what your program is doing?

Yes, when I do (payback 2600) on the prompt and press Step I only see a 
message  All definitions have been sucessfully evaluated and not other 
outcome so that did not help me any further.
