TEAS 7 Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To simplify the expression, we follow the order of operations (PEMDAS). Step 1: 7 + 16 = 23 Step 2: 6 * 3 = 18, then (5 + 18) = 23 Step 3: Now, the expression becomes 23 - 23 - 10 * 2 Step 4: 23 - 23 = 0, and 10 * 2 = 20 Step 5: Finally, 0 - 20 = -20 Therefore, the correct answer is B (-20). Explanation for other choices: A: -42 - Incorrect because it doesn't follow the correct order of operations. C: 23 - Incorrect, as it doesn't account for all the operations in the expression. D: 20 - Incorrect, as it doesn't consider the subtraction and multiplication operations properly.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the approximate number of people who voted for the proposition, we multiply the town's population by the percentage that voted: 51,623 * 9.5% = 51,623 * 0.095 = 4,904. Therefore, approximately 5,000 people voted for the proposition. Choice A (3,000) is too low because 9.5% of the population would result in more voters. Choice C (7,000) is too high because it exceeds the calculation based on the given percentage. Choice D (10,000) is also too high as it overestimates the number of voters based on the percentage provided.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the combinations Tom can purchase, you need to determine the total cost of ink cartridges and paper. Let c be the number of cartridges and p be the number of reams. The total cost is 30c + 5p. Since Tom has $100, the inequality is 30c + 5p ≤ 100. This is because the total cost should not exceed $100. Therefore, choice A is correct. Choice B is incorrect because it implies Tom can only spend exactly $100, which restricts his options. Choice C is incorrect as it states the total cost must be more than $100, which goes against the budget constraint. Choice D is incorrect as it allows for the total cost to be less than $100, which is not a valid option given Tom's budget.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: $90. Given the ratio of 1:3 for house savings to rent, and the rent of $270 per month, we can set up a proportion. Let x be the amount saved for the house. The ratio equation is: x/270 = 1/3. Cross-multiplying gives x = 270/3 = $90. Therefore, the roommate saves $90 each month. Choice B: $270 is incorrect because that is the amount of rent paid, not the amount saved for the house. Choice C: $730 is incorrect as it is not derived from the given ratio and rent amount. Choice D: $810 is incorrect as it is also not in line with the ratio and rent information provided.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Correct Answer: B ($48,443) Rationale: To find the total price of Veronica's new car, add the base price ($40,210) to the cost of the surround sound system ($3,015) and the maintenance package ($5,218). Therefore, $40,210 + $3,015 + $5,218 = $48,443. Summary of other choices: A: $50,210 - Incorrect as it only includes the base price of the car. C: $43,225 - Incorrect as it only includes the base price and the maintenance package. D: $40,210 - Incorrect as it only includes the base price of the car.
