TEAS Test Practice Math

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 total number of clients secured in a given time, we divide the total clients by the clients secured in one period. 24 clients ÷ 3 clients/8 months = 8 periods. To find the total time, we multiply the periods by the time for one period. 8 periods × 8 months = 64 months. Therefore, Robert has secured 24 new clients after 64 months. The other choices are incorrect because they do not align with the correct calculation.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert decimeters to centimeters, we multiply by 10 since 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters. Therefore, for a book with a width of 5 decimeters, the width in centimeters would be 5 * 10 = 50 centimeters. This makes choice B, 25 centimeters, the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly apply the conversion factor from decimeters to centimeters. Choice A is too small, choice C is too large, and choice D is also too small due to incorrect decimal placement.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Correct Answer: C Rationale: 1. Kyle wants to donate one-fifth of his $950 savings to 8 charities. 2. One-fifth of $950 is $190 ($950 / 5 = $190). 3. If he donates $30 to each charity, $30 x 8 charities = $240. 4. His estimate of donating $240 is more than $190 (one-fifth of $950). 5. Hence, the estimate is not reasonable as $240 exceeds one-fifth of his total savings.
