TEAS Practice Math Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To calculate the total cost, first multiply the daily rental cost by the number of days ($50 * 3 = $150). Then, multiply the cost per mile by the total miles driven ($0.25 * 120 = $30). Add these two amounts ($150 + $30 = $180). Therefore, the correct total cost is $180. Among the choices, only option A ($156) is incorrect as it does not match the calculated total cost. Option B ($190) is incorrect as it is higher than the correct total cost. Option C ($165) is incorrect as it is also higher than the correct total cost. Option D ($210) is incorrect as it is higher than the correct total cost.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the average weight of each item, we first subtract Jerry's weight from the elevator's weight limit: 800 - 200 = 600 pounds. Then, we divide this by the number of items (4): 600 / 4 = 150 pounds. This means each item should weigh 150 pounds on average to not exceed the weight limit. Choice B (150 pounds) is correct. Choice A (128 pounds) is too light, which would allow the elevator's weight limit to be exceeded. Choice C (175 pounds) and choice D (180 pounds) are too heavy, which would also exceed the weight limit.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: $600. The first step is to calculate the amount saved after paying rent and utilities. Since she uses 2/5 for rent and utilities, she saves 3/5 of her monthly contribution. Then, she saves half of this amount for incidental expenditures, which means she spends the other half on medical supplies. Therefore, she spends 1/4 of her monthly contribution on medical supplies. If we let her monthly contribution be x, then 1/4 of x equals $600. Therefore, the correct answer is $600. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the calculations based on the given information.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To find the total bonus amount, we need to work backwards. Since Chan has $600 remaining after paying taxes, donating, and paying off debt, this $600 represents 15% of his original bonus (100% - 30% - 30% - 25% = 15%). Therefore, $600 is equivalent to 15% of the bonus. To find the total bonus amount, we divide $600 by 15% (or 0.15), which equals $4,000. Thus, the correct answer is D: $4,000. Choice A ($3,000) is incorrect because it does not account for the remaining $600. Choice B ($3,200) and choice C ($3,600) are also incorrect as they do not reflect the correct percentage left after all deductions, which is 15%.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To determine the correct order, we convert all values to decimals or percentages. First, convert -3/4 to -0.75, then 3% to 0.03. Now, the order becomes -2, -0.75, -0.45, 0.03, 0.36. The correct order is A: -2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36. This is correct because -2 is the least, followed by -0.75, then -0.45, 0.03, and finally 0.36. Other choices are incorrect because they do not follow the correct numerical order.
