TEAS Math Questions

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the number of hours spent sleeping, we need to calculate 1/4 of a day. Since a day has 24 hours, 1/4 of 24 is 24/4 = 6 hours. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 6 hours. Choice B (8 hours) is incorrect as it is not 1/4 of a day. Choices C (4 hours) and D (5 hours) are also incorrect as they do not represent 1/4 of a day.

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: To calculate the final price after a 20% discount, you first find the discount amount by multiplying the original price ($80) by the discount percentage (20% = 0.20), which equals $16. Then, subtract the discount amount from the original price to get the final price: $80 - $16 = $64. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B ($60) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct discount amount. Choice C ($70) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct calculation after applying the discount. Choice D ($66) is incorrect as it does not consider the accurate discount percentage applied to the original price.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add all four sides. Given the width is 4 inches, and the length is 3 times the width (12 inches), the perimeter would be 2(4 + 12) = 2(16) = 32 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A (28 inches). The other choices are incorrect because they do not match the calculated perimeter based on the given dimensions of the rectangle.

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.
