TEAS Math Questions

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: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of trips that are the longest route, divide the number of longest route trips (3) by the total number of trips (9) and multiply by 100. So, (3/9) * 100 = 33.33% ≈ 33% which corresponds to choice B. Option A (0.25) is incorrect as it represents 25%, not 33%. Option C (0.5) represents 50%, which is incorrect as well. Option D (0.75) represents 75%, which is also incorrect.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the percentage of staff certified and available during the holiday, we first calculate the remaining staff after 35% are on vacation (100% - 35% = 65%). Then, 20% of the remaining 65% are certified (20% of 65% = 0.20 * 65% = 13%). Therefore, the percentage of staff certified and available is 13% (0.13), which corresponds to choice B. However, the question asks for the percentage, not the decimal representation. To convert 0.13 to a percentage, we multiply by 100, resulting in 13%. Therefore, the correct answer is A (0.13 expressed as a percentage is 13%). Choices C and D are incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the total height of the stacked boxes, we simply add the heights of the two boxes together. So, 4 inches (height of the first box) + 6 inches (height of the second box) = 10 inches. Therefore, the correct answer is A: 10 inches. Explanation of other choices: B: 12 inches - Incorrect because adding the heights of 4 inches and 6 inches does not equal 12 inches. C: 8 inches - Incorrect as the total height of the stacked boxes is not 8 inches. D: 9 inches - Incorrect because adding 4 inches and 6 inches does not result in 9 inches.

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.
