The cost of a protein bar increased from $2.50 to $2.80. How much was the percent increase to the $2.80 rate?

  1. 16%
  2. 10%
  3. 15%
  4. 12%

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

First subtract the old cost from the new cost: $2.80 – $2.50 = $0.30. Then divide the difference by the old cost to find the percent difference: $0.30 ÷ $2.50 = 0.12 = 12%.



An aircraft flies over Boondock Air Force Base at 10:20 a.m. At 10:32 a.m., the plane passes over Sea Side Naval Air Station, 120 miles away.
How fast is the aircraft traveling?

  1. 400 mph
  2. 500 mph
  3. 600 mph
  4. 700 mph

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The aircraft travels 120 miles in 12 minutes, which is 1⁄5 of an hour. Therefore, in 5⁄5 (one) hour, it would travel 5 × 120, or 600 miles. The aircraft is traveling 600 miles per hour.



Last year, Margot grew 50 bushels of corn in her backyard. This year, the yield has increased 8%. How many bushels of corn did Margot grow this year?

  1. 56
  2. 52
  3. 60
  4. 54

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Multiply 50 bushels by 8% to find the yield increase in bushels: 50 × 0.08 = 4. Add 4 bushels (the amount of the increase) to 50 bushels (the original yield) to determine that an 8% increase equals 54 bushels.



Junior has saved money in his piggybank over the winter. He wants to buy a $30 computer game.
If he has 14 one-dollar bills, 16 half dollars, 12 quarters, 8 dimes, 25 nickels, and 10 pennies, how much more does he need to borrow from Dad to buy the game?

  1. $27.15
  2. $2.85
  3. $2.95
  4. $1.85

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Convert the change to dollars or fractions of dollars and add:



Subtract the total from $30.00 to determine how much money Junior has to borrow:
$30.00 – $27.15 = $2.85.



Debbie receives a weekly salary of $80, plus a 5% commission on any sales. During the week, she has $800 in total sales.
What’s the ratio of her commission to her salary?

  1. 2/1
  2. 1/2
  3. 3/1
  4. 1/3

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Her commission for the week was $40 (0.05 × 800 = 40). The ratio of her commission to her salary is 40⁄80, which can be reduced to 1⁄2.

q252: dns poisoning is the correct answer, not locator redirection. beaconing is detected from a host. this indicates that the system has been infected with malware, which could be the source of local dns poisoning. location redirection works by either embedding the redirection in the original websites code or having a user click on a url that has an embedded redirect. since users at a different office are not getting redirected, it isnt an embedded redirection on the original website and since the user is manually typing in the url and not clicking a link, it isnt a modified link.
