A home stereo depreciates by 20% each year.What’s the value of a stereo, purchased new for $1,200, after two years?
Answer(s): A
The stereo depreciates $240 the first year (0.2 × 1200 = 240). Therefore, the value of the stereo after the first year is $1200 – $240 = $960. The second year the stereo would depreciate by $192 (0.2 × 960). The value of the stereo after the second year is $960 – $192 = $768.

Answer(s): C
Subtract the original salary from the new salary to get the difference in salary: $360 – $320 = $40. Then divide the difference in salary ($40) by the original salary ($320) to determine the percent increase: 40 ÷ 320 = 0.125 = 12.5%.
Two go-carts are racing on a circular track with a perimeter of 360 feet. Camera One is following Go-Cart One, and Camera Two is following Go-Cart Two.If the angle between the two cameras is 40 degrees, how far apart are the two go-carts?
Answer(s): B
A circle is 360 degrees, so 40 degrees is 1⁄9 of a circle (360 ÷ 40 = 9). To get the answer of 40 feet, multiply the perimeter of the track 1⁄9 (360 × 1⁄9 = 40).

the correct answer to q8 is b. explanation since the mule app has a dependency, it is necessary to include project modules and dependencies to make sure the app will run successfully on the runtime on any other machine. source code of the component that the mule app is dependent of does not need to be included in the exported jar file, because the source code is not being used while executing an app. compiled code is being used instead.
