TEAS 7 Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the fraction of the class that wanted to work with the elderly, we add the percentage of students who wanted to work with the elderly, which is 60%. This can be represented as 60/100, which simplifies to 3/5. Choice A (1/4) is incorrect because it represents the fraction of students who wanted to work with infants, which is 25%. Choice B (1/10) is incorrect as it represents the fraction of students who wanted to assist general practitioners, which is 10%. Choice D (1/20) is incorrect as it does not correspond to any of the given percentages in the question.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To calculate the total amount Margery expects to spend on her vacation, we need to add up all her expenses. The airfare is $572. The hotel costs $89 per night for 5 nights, but she will receive a 10% discount after the first night, so the total hotel cost is (1 night + 4 nights * 0.9) * $89 = $400.10. She has allotted $150 for sightseeing and $250 for meals. Adding all these expenses together: $572 (airfare) + $400.10 (hotel) + $150 (sightseeing) + $250 (meals) = $1,372.10. Therefore, the total amount Margery expects to spend on her vacation is $1,372.10, which is closest to option C: $1,381.40. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately calculate the total expenses based on the

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B (25). To find the range, subtract the smallest value from the largest value in a set of data. Given the options, 32 (largest) minus 7 (smallest) equals 25. Therefore, the range in the number of flights the flight attendant made is 25. Option A (20) is incorrect as it is smaller than the actual range. Option C (29) and D (32) are incorrect because they are larger than the actual range, making them invalid choices.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the cost of one box of crackers, we set up a system of equations. Let x be the cost of one container of yogurt and y be the cost of one box of crackers. From the given information, we have: 4x + 3y = 9.55 2x + 2y = 5.90 Solving the system of equations, we find x = 1.45 and y = 2.25. Therefore, one box of crackers costs $2.25, making choice C the correct answer. Incorrect choices: A: $1.75 - Incorrect because it doesn't match the calculated cost. B: $2.00 - Incorrect, as it does not align with the calculated cost. D: $2.50 - Wrong, as it does not correspond to the calculated value.

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.
