Explanation:

Macroeconomics deals with aggregate variables and an overall economy or market system, its behavior, and the factors that drive it. While microeconomics deals with individual units only. But both are interdependent as microeconomics is not always restricted to individual units and also macroeconomics deals with the aggregates at a smaller level. For example, an increase in the income tax rate would influence an individual's decision to a buy fridge as its price goes up. And the price of a commodity is influenced by the general price level in the economy.
