Practice Math TEAS TEST

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Step 1: Let x be the original price of the recliner. Step 2: Sale price = x - 0.3x = 0.7x Step 3: Price after coupon = 0.7x - 0.25(0.7x) = 0.525x Step 4: Set up equation: 0.525x = 237 Step 5: Solve for x: x = 237 / 0.525 ≈ $451 Step 6: The original price is closest to $451, making option C incorrect. Step 7: Check why other choices are incorrect: - Option A: $316 is too low for the original price. - Option B: $431 is the calculated sale price, not the original price. - Option D: $527 is the original price based on the calculation.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find 31% of 426, you multiply 426 by 0.31. So, 426 * 0.31 = 132.06. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 132.06. Option A (425.69) is close but incorrect. Options C (13.7) and D (0.07) are significantly lower than the actual result, indicating they are incorrect.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the median, first, sort the data set in ascending order: -3, -2, 0, 5, 10. The middle value is the median, which is 0 in this case. This is the correct answer (B). The other choices are incorrect because: A: 10 is the highest value, not the middle value. C: 5 is not the middle value when the data set is arranged in ascending order. D: 2 is not present in the data set, making it an invalid choice.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Eritrea. To determine the largest increase in healthcare spending per capita from 2013 to 2015, we need to calculate the difference between the spending in 2015 and 2013 for each country. By comparing the dollar amount increase for each country, it is evident that Eritrea experienced the largest increase. This is because the dollar amount increase for Eritrea is greater than that of the other countries listed. Sudan, Tanzania, and Kenya had smaller increases in dollars spent per capita during the same period. Therefore, A is the correct answer.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To calculate a 10% tip on a $28.40 bill, you multiply $28.40 by 0.10, which equals $2.84. Rounding up to the nearest dollar gives an estimated gratuity of $3.00. Choice D is correct because it accurately represents a 10% tip on the bill. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation for a 10% tip on the given bill amount.
