TEAS Test Practice Math

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 find the least number of computers to be shipped and sold for the amount received to be equal to shipping cost, we set the selling amount equal to the shipping cost: 400x = 3000 + 100x Solving for x, we get x = 15. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Choice A (10) is too low as it results in less revenue than the shipping cost. Choices C (20) and D (25) are higher than the minimum required number of 15 computers, resulting in more revenue than needed.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (100 students passed the exam). Since all students who took the exam passed, if the class has 200 students, then all 200 students must have taken the exam, and all of them passed. Therefore, the total number of students who passed the exam is equal to the total number of students who took the exam, which is 200. So, the correct answer is 200 students passed the exam. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the fact that all students who took the exam passed.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To solve the equation, we first distribute the 3 to both terms inside the parentheses: 6y + 150 - 4y = 500. Combining like terms, we get 2y + 150 = 500. Next, we isolate the variable by subtracting 150 from both sides, giving us 2y = 350. Finally, we divide by 2 to solve for y, resulting in y = 175. Choice B is correct because it correctly follows the order of operations and simplifies the equation accurately. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not yield the correct value of y when substituted back into the original equation.

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.
