TEA Traffic Enforcement Mathematical Reasoning 2

Question 1

A parking meter allows 90 minutes of paid parking. A vehicle arrives at 10:45 AM and the meter expires at 12:15 PM. How many minutes of parking time were purchased?

Accepted Answer

90 minutes

Answer

From 10:45 AM to 12:15 PM is exactly 90 minutes, which matches the meter allowance.

Question 2

An officer issues 14 parking citations on Monday, 9 on Tuesday, and 17 on Wednesday. What is the average number of citations issued per day?

Accepted Answer

13

Answer

Total citations: 14 + 9 + 17 = 40; average = 40 ÷ 3 ≈ 13.3, which rounds to 13.

Question 3

A school zone speed limit is 20 mph. A vehicle is clocked traveling at 34 mph. By what percentage is the driver exceeding the speed limit?

Accepted Answer

70%

Answer

Excess speed = 34 − 20 = 14 mph; percentage over limit = (14 ÷ 20) × 100 = 70%.

Question 4

A parking lot has 120 spaces. If 75% are currently occupied, how many spaces are available?

Accepted Answer

45

Answer

75% of 120 = 90 occupied; 120 − 90 = 30 available — wait, 120 × 0.25 = 30... 120 − 90 = 30, so 30 spaces are available.

Question 5

A citation fine is $65.00 but doubles if not paid within 30 days. A driver pays on day 45. How much do they owe?

Accepted Answer

$130.00

Answer

Since 45 days exceeds the 30-day window, the fine doubles: $65 × 2 = $130.00.
