TEAS TEST MATH Practice Exam Questions and Verified Solutions
1. If Sara can read 15 pages in 10 minutes, how long will it take her to read 45 pages?: 30
minutes ; add the number pages times the minutes
2. Restaurant customers tip their server only 8 percent for poor service. If their tip was
$3.70, how much was their bill?
A. $44.60
B.$40.15
C.$46.25
D.$50.45: C.$46.25
HOW: DIVIDE 8% from 100. multiply by $3.70.
3. If Leonard bought 2 packs of batteries for x amount of dollars, how many packs of
batteries could he purchase for $5.00 at the same rate?: First set the relationship up and
solve for the number of packs: x/2=5/packs; x(packs) = 10; packs
= 10/x.
4. Choose the algebraic expression that best represents the following situa- tion: Jeral's
test score (J) was 5 points higher than half of Kara's test score (K).: J = 1/2 K + 5
5. Enrique weighs 5 pounds more than twice Brendan's weight. If their total weight is 225
pounds, how much does Enrique weigh?: if E + B = 225, and E = 2B + 5, then 225 - B = 2B + 5.
Solving for B, 3B = 220 and B = 73.3. 225 - 73.3 =
151.7.
6. What does (4x - y) + (-10 + y) equal if x = 3 and y = 4?: plugging in x and y, you get (4(3) - 4) +
(-10 + 4), which is 8 + (-6), or 8 - 6 = 2.
7. A pasta salad was chilled in the refrigerator at 35° F overnight for 9 hours. The
