TEAS Test Practice Math

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total cost of fencing, we need to find the perimeter of the hexagonal field. Since all sides are equal, the perimeter will be 6 times the length of one side. Perimeter = 6 x 320 feet = 1920 feet. Cost of fencing = Perimeter x Cost per foot = 1920 feet x $75 = $144,000. Therefore, the correct answer is C: $3,360. Explanation for other choices: A: $2,240 - Incorrect because it does not account for the entire perimeter. B: $2,800 - Incorrect, as it underestimates the total cost. D: $4,480 - Incorrect, as it overestimates the total cost.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: $86,666.67. To calculate this, divide the total operating expenses ($130,000) by 3, as a general guideline is that one-third of operating expenses typically go towards employee wages and benefits. $130,000 / 3 = $43,333.33. However, this only represents the wages portion, and benefits are typically an additional 50% of wages, making the total amount spent on wages and benefits $43,333.33 + ($43,333.33 * 0.5) = $86,666.67. Choice A: $43,333.33 - This only represents the wages portion and does not include benefits. Choice C: $52,000.00 - This amount does not account for benefits and is not calculated correctly. Choice D: $78,000.00 - This amount is only the wages portion and does not include benefits.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the cars with both a man and a woman, we can use the formula: Total = Man + Woman - Both + Neither. Given Man = 20, Woman = 13, Total = 25, and Neither = 0 (since each car has at least one person), we can plug in the values: 25 = 20 + 13 - Both + 0. Solving for Both, we get Both = 8. Therefore, the correct answer is C (8 cars with both a man and a woman). Summary: A: Incorrect. There are more cars with a man. B: Incorrect. This number is too high considering the given information. D: Incorrect. This is the total number of cars, not the number with both a man and a woman.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the total amount paid with financing: $1000 (down payment) + ($120/month * 12 months/year * 2 years) = $1000 + $2880 = $3880 To find out how much more he would pay with financing: $3880 - $1000 (if paid in one payment) = $2880 Therefore, the man would pay $2880 more with the financing plan, which aligns with choice B: $1280 more. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the additional amount paid compared to paying in one payment.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the actual distance in miles, multiply the map distance by the scale factor. 3.2 inches * 45 miles/inch = 144 miles. Choice A is correct because it correctly applies the scale factor. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not properly calculate the actual distance using the scale provided on the map.
