  1. A state agency received 1,200 calls in March. If calls increased by 15% in April, how many calls were received in April?

    Answer: 1,380

    1,200 × 0.15 = 180; 1,200 + 180 = 1,380 calls in April.

  2. An employee works 40 hours a week at $18.50 per hour. What is the employee's gross weekly pay?
