Practice Math TEAS TEST Questions
Question 1 of 5
If a box of 55 syringes costs $660.00, what is the cost of four syringes?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the cost of 1 syringe, divide $660 by 55 (55 syringes in a box) = $12 per syringe. To find the cost of 4 syringes, multiply $12 by 4 = $48. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the cost based on the given information.
Question 2 of 5
What is the mathematical expression for 'Twelve less than thrice a number'?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 3x-12. To express 'Twelve less than thrice a number,' we first represent 'a number' as x. Then 'thrice a number' is 3x. Finally, 'Twelve less than thrice a number' translates to 3x-12. Other choices are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the given expression. Choice B (12-3x) reverses the order of operations, choice C (3-12x) incorrectly multiplies instead of subtracting, and choice D (12x-3) mistakenly subtracts the number from 12 instead of subtracting 12 from the number multiplied by 3.
Question 3 of 5
As a company's stocks increase, production, sales, and investments also increase. Which of the following is the independent variable?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Stocks. In this scenario, stocks are the independent variable because they are being manipulated or controlled to observe the effect on other variables like production, sales, and investments. Increasing stocks is the action taken, which then leads to the changes in production, sales, and investments. On the other hand, choices A, C, and D are dependent variables as they are influenced by the changes in stocks. Sales, production, and investments are all outcomes or results of the changes in stocks. Therefore, stocks are the independent variable in this situation.
Question 4 of 5
A teacher earns $730.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $72.00 federal income tax, $35.00 state income tax, and $65.00 Social Security tax. How much will the teacher make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To find the teacher's total earnings after deductions for 4 weeks, we first calculate the total deductions per week: $72 + $35 + $65 = $172. Then, subtract this total from the teacher's weekly earnings: $730 - $172 = $558. Multiply this by 4 weeks: $558 * 4 = $2,232. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Option A is too low, as it does not account for the deductions. Option B is too high, as it overestimates the earnings. Option C is also incorrect, as it does not consider the deductions accurately.
Question 5 of 5
A leather recliner is on sale for 30% less than its original price. A consumer has a coupon that saves an additional 25% off of the sale price. If the consumer pays $237 for the recliner, what is the original price of the recliner to the nearest dollar?
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.
