HESI A2 Math Practice Test
1. If the total cost of his purchase was $9.38 and he gave the cashier $20, how much change did he receive?
- A. $0.62
- B. $5.02
- C. $9.38
- D. $10.62
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To determine the amount of change received, you need to subtract the total cost from the amount given. $20 - $9.38 = $10.62. Therefore, he received $10.62 in change. Option A ($0.62) is incorrect as it is the difference in cents, not dollars. Option B ($5.02) is incorrect as it does not reflect the correct subtraction. Option C ($9.38) is incorrect as it represents the total cost of the purchase, not the change received.
2. A nurse administers 150mg of medication every 4 hours. How many milligrams will the patient receive in 24 hours?
- A. 300mg
- B. 600mg
- C. 750mg
- D. 900mg
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Rationale: - The patient receives 150mg of medication every 4 hours. - To calculate how many milligrams the patient will receive in 24 hours, we need to determine how many times the medication is administered in 24 hours. - Since the medication is administered every 4 hours, there are 24 hours in a day, so the medication will be administered 24 / 4 = 6 times in 24 hours. - Therefore, the total amount of medication the patient will receive in 24 hours is 150mg x 6 = 900mg.
3. A vitamin's expiration date has passed. It was supposed to contain 500 mg of calcium, but it has lost 325 mg of calcium. How many mg of calcium are left?
- A. 175 mg
- B. 135 mg
- C. 185 mg
- D. 200 mg
Correct answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: 175 mg. The vitamin originally contained 500 mg of calcium. After losing 325 mg, the remaining amount of calcium is calculated as 500 mg - 325 mg = 175 mg. Choice B (135 mg) is incorrect because the vitamin lost more calcium than that. Choices C (185 mg) and D (200 mg) are incorrect as they do not consider the amount of calcium lost from the original 500 mg.
4. If the outside temperature on a sunny day is 82 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale, what is the approximate temperature on the Celsius scale?
- A. 18°C
- B. 24°C
- C. 28°C
- D. 50°C
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, you can use the formula:
5. Louise wins $25 in a raffle at the fair. She spends $50 on an apple pie and $25 on lemonade. How much of her winnings does she take home?
- A. $12.75
- B. $16.25
- C. $18.25
- D. $19.50
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Louise's total spending is $50 + $25 = $75. To find out how much of her winnings she takes home, we need to subtract her total spending from her winnings: $25 - $75 = -$50. Louise actually loses $50 as she spends more than her winnings. Therefore, she doesn't take home any money and would be in debt by $50. The correct answer is $25 - $75 = -$50, indicating that she does not take home any winnings and is in a deficit.
