HESI A2 Math Questions
Question 1 of 5
If an investment earns 5% interest annually, how much interest will it earn in 1 year on a principal of $1,000?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To calculate the interest earned on a principal of $1,000 with a 5% annual interest rate, you multiply the principal by the interest rate: $1,000 x 0.05 = $50. Therefore, the correct answer is B, $50. Choice A is incorrect as it miscalculates the interest. Choice C overestimates the interest earned. Choice D is close, but $55 is not the correct calculation based on the given information.
Question 2 of 5
If Mr. Parker owns 150 shares of stock in Stark Industries and receives $180.00 per year in dividends, how much does Mr. Rogers receive for an annual dividend if he owns 400 shares?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the annual dividend Mr. Rogers receives for his 400 shares, we need to find the dividend per share first. For Mr. Parker, the dividend per share is $180/150 = $1.20. So, for Mr. Rogers, with 400 shares, his annual dividend would be 400 x $1.20 = $480. Therefore, the correct answer is A: $480. Summary: - B: $500 is incorrect because it is not the correct calculation based on the given information. - C: $450 is incorrect as it is not the correct calculation based on the given information. - D: $72,000 is incorrect as it is an excessively high amount and not a reasonable dividend for owning 400 shares.
Question 3 of 5
A car travels 60 miles per hour for 2.5 hours. How far does the car travel?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled, multiply the speed (60 mph) by the time (2.5 hours): 60 mph * 2.5 hours = 150 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (120 miles) is incorrect as it is lower than the correct calculation. Choices C (180 miles) and D (170 miles) are incorrect as they are higher than the actual distance traveled.
Question 4 of 5
Farmer Juan has 14 acres with an average yield of 17460 eggs per acre. The profit per egg is $1.65. What profit should Farmer Juan expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To calculate Farmer Juan's profit, multiply the total number of eggs (14 acres * 17460 eggs/acre) by the profit per egg ($1.65). 14 acres * 17460 eggs/acre * $1.65 = $403,326. This is the correct answer as it calculates the total profit based on the given information. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total profit using the number of acres, yield per acre, and profit per egg provided in the question.
Question 5 of 5
Square: A garden bed has a side length of 8 meters. What is its perimeter?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To find the perimeter of a square, we add up all four sides. Since the garden bed has a side length of 8 meters, each side is 8m. Therefore, the perimeter = 8m + 8m + 8m + 8m = 32m (Choice C). Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly calculate the total length of all four sides of the square.
