HESI A2 Math 2024 Questions
Question 1 of 5
What number is 15, if it is 20% of that number?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the number that 15 is 20% of, we set up the equation: x * 0.20 = 15. Solving for x, we get x = 15 / 0.20 = 75. Therefore, 15 is 20% of 75. Choice A, 3, is too small to be 20% of 15. Choice C, 75, is the result of the correct calculation. Choice D, 300, is too large to be 20% of 15.
Question 2 of 5
Write the date 2007 in Roman numerals.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In Roman numerals, the date 2007 is correctly represented as MMVII. The Roman numeral M stands for 1000, and when repeated twice (MM), it represents 2000. The Roman numeral V represents 5, and when followed by II (two ones), it correctly represents 2007. Choice B (MDVII) is incorrect because D represents 500, and 2007 is greater than that. Choice C (MMDII) is incorrect because D represents 500, and there are two of them, making it 1000, not 2000. Choice D (MMXD) is incorrect as XD is an invalid Roman numeral combination.
Question 3 of 5
If a party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, how many bottles must she purchase for a party of 145 guests?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: If the party planner assumes 2 bottles of sparkling water per 5 guests, for a party of 145 guests, she would need ((2/5) x 145) bottles of sparkling water. This calculation results in 58 bottles. Therefore, she must purchase 58 bottles for the party of 145 guests. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct calculation based on the given assumption.
Question 4 of 5
What is 35% of 70?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find 35% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.35. In this case, 35% of 70 is calculated as 70 x 0.35 = 24.5. Choice A (17.5) is incorrect because it represents 25% of 70. Choice C (35) is incorrect as it is the percentage itself, not the result of the calculation. Choice D (50) is incorrect as it does not represent the result of finding 35% of 70.
Question 5 of 5
Multiply: 35 25 =
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To multiply 35 25, break it down into (30 + 5) 25. Now distribute: (30 25) + (5 25) = 750 + 125 = 875. Therefore, 35 25 = 875. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not represent the correct result of multiplying 35 by 25. Choice A is 1000 times smaller than the correct answer, Choice B is 100 times smaller, and Choice C is 10 times smaller, making them all incorrect. The correct answer is Choice D, 8.75.
