The cost of a protein bar increased from $2.50 to $2.80. How much was the percent increase to the $2.80 rate?
Answer(s): D
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?
Answer(s): C
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?
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.

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.
