TEAS Exam Math Practice

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the total potential savings, we first calculate the 20% discount on the car price: 20% of $26,580 = $5,316. Next, we calculate the total monthly payments saved: 3 payments x $250 = $750. Adding the discount and saved payments gives us a total potential savings of $5,316 + $750 = $6,066. Therefore, choice C is correct. Choice A is incorrect because it does not account for the monthly payments saved. Choice B is incorrect as it only considers the discount on the car price, ignoring the saved payments. Choice D is incorrect as it overestimates the savings by combining the discount and payments saved twice.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To simplify the expression, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS). First, we calculate the exponents: 52(3) + 3(-2)^2 / 4 + 9 - 2(5-8) = 156 + 3(4) / 4 + 9 - 2(3) = 156 + 12 / 4 + 9 - 6. Then, we perform division and multiplication from left to right: 156 + 3 + 9 - 6 = 168. Therefore, the correct answer is 87/19. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly simplify the expression following the order of operations.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the amount earned in 2 months, divide the total earned in 7 months by 7 to get the monthly amount. $15,036 / 7 = $2,148 earned per month. Then, multiply this monthly amount by 2 to find the earnings in 2 months: $2,148 * 2 = $4,296. Therefore, choice B ($4,296) is correct. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not follow the correct calculation steps and do not result in the accurate amount earned in 2 months.
