TEAS 7 Math Practice Test
1. Gordon purchased a television when his local electronics store had a sale. The television was offered at 30% off its original price of $472. What was the sale price Gordon paid?
- A. $141.60
- B. $225.70
- C. $305.30
- D. $330.40
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To find the sale price after a 30% discount, you need to subtract 30% of the original price from the original price. 30% of $472 is $141.60. Subtracting this discount from the original price gives $472 - $141.60 = $330.40, which is the sale price Gordon paid. Choice A, $141.60, is incorrect as it represents only the discount amount, not the final sale price. Choices B and C are also incorrect as they do not account for the correct calculations of the discount and final sale price.
2. A restaurant employs servers, hosts, and managers in a ratio of 9:2:1. If there are 36 total employees, what is the number of hosts at the restaurant?
- A. 3
- B. 4
- C. 6
- D. 8
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To find the number of hosts in the restaurant, first, express the ratio algebraically as 9x + 2x + 1x = 36, where x represents the common factor. Combine like terms to get 12x = 36. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 12 to get x = 3. To find the number of hosts, multiply the coefficient of hosts (2) by x, which equals 6. Therefore, there are 6 hosts at the restaurant. Choice A, 3, is incorrect as it represents the number of servers. Choices B and D are incorrect as they do not correspond to the number of hosts based on the given ratio.
3. If 1 inch on a map represents 60 ft, how many yards apart are two points if the distance between the points on the map is 10 inches?
- A. 1800
- B. 600
- C. 200
- D. 2
Correct answer: B
Rationale: If 1 inch on the map represents 60 ft, then for 10 inches on the map, the actual distance would be 10 inches x 60 ft = 600 ft. To convert this to yards, we know that 1 yard equals 3 feet. Therefore, the distance between the two points is 600 ft / 3 ft/yard = 200 yards. Choice A (1800) is incorrect because it incorrectly multiplies by 10 again instead of converting to yards. Choice C (200) is incorrect because it fails to adjust the measurement from feet to yards. Choice D (2) is incorrect as it does not consider the correct conversion factor from feet to yards.
4. At the beginning of the day, Xavier has 20 apples. At lunch, he meets his sister Emma and gives her half of his apples. After lunch, he stops by his neighbor Jim's house and gives him 6 of his apples. He then uses ¾ of his remaining apples to make an apple pie for dessert at dinner. At the end of the day, how many apples does Xavier have left?
- A. 4
- B. 6
- C. 2
- D. 1
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Xavier starts with 20 apples. He gives half to Emma, leaving him with 10 apples. After giving 6 more to Jim, he has 4 apples left. Using ¾ of the remaining 4 apples for the pie leaves him with 1 apple at the end of the day. Choice A is incorrect because it doesn't account for the apple pie Xavier made. Choices B and C are incorrect as they don't reflect the correct calculations of apples remaining after each step.
5. Simplify the following expression: (1/4) × (3/5) ÷ 1 (1/8)
- A. 8/15
- B. 27/160
- C. 2/15
- D. 27/40
Correct answer: C
Rationale: First, convert the mixed number 1 (1/8) into an improper fraction: 1 (1/8) = 9/8. Now, simplify the expression: (1/4) × (3/5) ÷ (9/8). To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal: (1/4) × (3/5) × (8/9) = 24/180 = 2/15. Thus, the simplified expression is 2/15. Choice A (8/15) is incorrect because the correct answer is 2/15. Choice B (27/160) is incorrect as it is not the result of the given expression. Choice D (27/40) is incorrect as it does not match the simplified expression obtained.
