Page	Loc	Description	Erroneous Text	Correction
24	Middle	The last sentence of the explanation for question #9 should say 192, NOT 240.		Multiplying 0.625 * 192 will take much longer to complete.
44	Middle	There's a typo in the first sentence of the “How to Get Better at Testing Cases” section.	First, try to problems associated with this chapter…	First, try the problems associated with this chapter…
68	Bottom	Each 2% increase is a quarterly increase, not a yearly increase.		At the end of the first quarter, the account will have $100 plus 2% of $100… At the end of the first quarter, the account will have $102. At the end of the second quarter, the account will have…
69	Middle	The years cited in the question should all be 2014 and 2015.		Company X has exactly two product lines and no other sources of revenue. If the consumer product line experiences a k% increase in revenue (where k is a positive integer) in 2015 from 2014 levels and the machine parts line experiences a k% decrease in revenue in 2015 from 2014 levels, did Company X's overall revenue increase or decrease in 2015?
69	Bottom	In the original printing of this edition, problems 11 through 14 are incorrectly numbered. They should be numbered 6 through 9. This error also currently exists in the e-book.
128	Middle	Problem 6, last two lines of math under (2) SUFFICIENT: The last number in each line should read 594, not 596.	A = 26, B = 62, 10B – A = 596 A = 76, B = 67, 10B – A = 596	A = 26, B = 62, 10B – A = 594 A = 76, B = 67, 10B – A = 594
128	Bottom	The solution says that the three symbols must equal 2, 3, and 6. Technically, at that stage, they could also equal 1, 4, and 9. The answers that use these numbers, though, fail the test in other ways. For answer (C), (14)(94) does not yield a units digit of 4. For answer (D), (41)(91) is a four-digit number, not a three-digit number.
KINDLE ONLY	Chapter 2	In “Powers of 10: Shifting the Decimal”, the 103 needs to be 103	103	103
E-BOOK ONLY	Chapter 5	Problem Set #5, the years are incorrect in the last part of the question. It should read: “If the consumer products line experiences a k% of increase in revenue (where k is a positive integer) in 2015 from 2014 levels and the machine parts line experiences a k% decrease in revenue in 2015 from 2014 levels, did Company X’s overall revenue increase or decrease in 2015?”	“…decrease in revenue in 2015 from 2004 levels, did Company X’s overall revenue increase or decrease in 2010?”	“…decrease in revenue in 2015 from 2014 levels, did Company X’s overall revenue increase or decrease in 2015?”
