a) 4 cups
b) 6 cups
c) 8 cups
d) 12 cups

2. If a store is having a 30% off sale, how much would a $50 shirt cost during the sale?

a) $20
b) $25
c) $30
d) $35

3. Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 17

a) x = 6
b) x = 8
c) x = 10
d) x = 12

Remember to approach each question carefully, read through the problem, and apply the appropriate mathematical concepts to find the correct answer. Good luck with your preparation for the HESI A2 math exam!

Wanna Know the ANSWERS?

Certainly! Let’s go through the steps to solve each of the sample questions:

1. A recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to make 12 cookies. How much flour would you need to make 36 cookies using the same recipe?

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion. We know that the amount of flour is directly proportional to the number of cookies. We can write it as:

2 cups / 12 cookies = x cups / 36 cookies

To find the value of x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:

12x = 2 * 36
12x = 72
x = 72 / 12
x = 6

Therefore, to make 36 cookies, you would need 6 cups of flour. The correct answer is option a) 4 cups.

2. If a store is having a 30% off sale, how much would a $50 shirt cost during the sale?

To find the discounted price, we can multiply the original price by the percentage of the discount. In this case, we want to find 30% of $50. We can calculate it as:

Discounted price = Original price – (Original price * Percentage discount)

Discounted price = $50 – ($50 * 0.30)

Discounted price = $50 – $15

Discounted price = $35

Therefore, the $50 shirt would cost $35 during the sale. The correct answer is option d) $35.

3. Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 17

To solve this equation, we want to isolate the variable x. Let’s go through the steps:

2x + 5 = 17

First, we can subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

2x + 5 – 5 = 17 – 5

2x = 12

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

2x / 2 = 12 / 2

x = 6

Therefore, the solution for x is 6. The correct answer is option a) x = 6.

I hope this helps you understand how to solve these types of problems. If you have any further questions or need more examples, feel free to ask!
