TEAS Math Questions

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: $1,280 more. In the financing plan, the total cost is $1,000 (down payment) + ($120 x 24 months) = $1,000 + $2,880 = $3,880. The difference between paying in cash and choosing the financing plan is $3,880 - $2,600 = $1,280. Therefore, the man would pay $1,280 more with the financing plan. A: $1,480 more - Incorrect because it miscalculates the total cost of the financing plan. C: $1,600 more - Incorrect as it overestimates the additional payment compared to the cash option. D: $2,480 more - Incorrect as it includes the total cost of the furniture itself, not just the additional cost of the financing plan.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1,050 people. To calculate the population next year, we need to add the 5% increase to the current population. 5% of 1,000 is 50, so the population will increase by 50 people. Therefore, the population next year will be 1,000 + 50 = 1,050 people. Choice B (1,200 people) is incorrect because it assumes a 20% increase instead of 5%. Choice C (1,100 people) is incorrect because it does not consider the 5% increase. Choice D (1,300 people) is incorrect as it implies a 30% increase, which is not accurate based on the given 5% annual increase.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of students who will complete the program: 1. 3/4 of students major in nursing, so 3/4 * 100 = 75 students major in nursing. 2. 1/3 of nursing students complete the program, so 1/3 * 75 = 25 students will complete the program. Therefore, if 100 students are in the incoming class, 25 students will complete the program. Choice C (15) is incorrect because it does not align with the calculations. Choices A (75), B (20), and D (5) are also incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the number of students who will complete the program based on the given information.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the percentage of the total staff that is certified and available to work in the neonatal unit during the holiday, we need to multiply the percentages of staff available and certified. First, calculate the percentage of staff available: 100% - 35% (staff on vacation) = 65% available. Then, calculate the percentage of staff certified among those available: 65% (staff available) * 20% (certified) = 13%. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 0.13, representing 13% of the total staff that is certified and available to work in the neonatal unit during the holiday. The other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the calculated percentage.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of male patients who were not overweight as children, we first calculate the total number of male patients. Since 70% of the patients were women, 30% were men. This means there were 30 men in the study. Out of these men, 10% were overweight as children, which is 10% of 30, equaling 3 men. Therefore, the remaining men who were not overweight would be 30 - 3 = 27. Therefore, choice C (27) is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the calculation based on the given information.
