Hesi A2 Math Problems
6 clients are throwing a party & each cake serves 24 servings & has a party of 70 &
3 staff. How many cakes are needed? - ANS-2 3/4 cakes
\A baker can bake 4 cakes with 10 cups of sugar. If he has a 30 cup bag that is 1/2
full, how many cakes can he bake? - ANS-6 cakes
\A bowling team consists of 34 members, and 18 are male. If 4 females leave the
team, what percent of the remaining members are male? - ANS-60%
\A class has 25 students 44% of the students are boys. How many boys are in
class? - ANS-X/25 44%/100= 11 boys
\A dice is rolled, what's the probability of an odd number? - ANS-50%. so Part=%,
whole=100,3(odd)/6sides:x/100 then crossing 6x=300 then x=300:6=50%
\A dice is rolled. What is the probability of getting 5? - ANS-16.6%. so 1/6=x/100,
x=100:6=16.666=16.6
\A farmer has 240 acres under cultivation at the cost of $188.99 per acre. If he
averages a yield of 60 bushels per acre, what profit is expected if the price per
bushel is $5.67? - ANS-36,290.40. First figure out total cost cultivation. $189.99 per
acre x 240 acres = $45,357.60 so basically it costs the farmer $45,357.60 to
maintain 240 acres. Next, figure out how much he earns per bushel. 60 bushels per
acre x 240 acres- 14,400 bushel total. 14,400 x $5.67 (cost per bushel) = $81,648
$81,648 is how much he earns, but you have to subtract $45,357.60 because that's
how much he is losing (spending) to maintain his farm $81,648- $45,357.60 =
$36,290.40

\A man is reading a thick book. If he reads two chapters a day how long it will take
him to read the book if there is 6 pages per chapter & 798 pg.? - ANS-66.5 or 66&1/2
