2:Basic of an economy as a whole-micro economics deals with individuals whereas macro deals with aggregates.Aggregates are as as a result of the sum of individual figures therefore what happens in an economy is derived from micro economics
3:Predictions-principles of micro economics are based on predictions.This predictions are made on some conditions like if there is a fall in demand prices will automatically fall therefore micro economics enables us to predict how the economy will look like in future e.g if demand increases price will automatically increase and these will necessitate more production to control prices and above all to meet the demand
