TEAS Math Questions

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.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the number of students who will complete the nursing program: 1. Out of 100 students, 3/4 major in nursing = 75 students. 2. Only 1/3 of those who major in nursing complete the program: (1/3) * 75 = 25 students. Therefore, the correct answer is C (25 students) because only a third of the 75 nursing majors, which is 25 students, will complete the nursing program. Choice A (75) is incorrect because it represents the total number of students majoring in nursing, not completing the program. Choice B (20) and Choice D (5) are incorrect as they do not consider the proportions given in the question and do not calculate the number of students completing the program accurately.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Veronica's total cost is the sum of the base price, surround sound system, and maintenance package: $40,210 + $3,015 + $5,218 = $48,443. This is the correct answer (B) as it calculates the total price accurately. Option A is incorrect as it only includes the base price. Option C is incorrect as it does not include the additional costs. Option D is incorrect as it only includes the base price without the additional expenses.

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: C

Rationale: To find how many questions the student answered correctly: 1. Calculate 85% of 50: 0.85 * 50 = 42.5 2. Since the student can't answer half a question, round down to the nearest whole number: 42 Therefore, the student answered 42 questions correctly. Option C is correct. Incorrect options: A: 40 questions - Too low, as the student scored above 40. B: 42 questions - Close but not rounded correctly. D: 45 questions - Too high, as the student's score was 85%.
