1. **Problem 1:** Blake uses 60% of his paycheck to pay bills and has 320 remaining. Find the total paycheck amount.
2. **Formula:** Let $x$ be the total paycheck. Since Blake uses 60%, he has 40% left: $$0.40x = 320$$
3. **Solve for $x$:** Divide both sides by 0.40:
$$x = \frac{320}{0.40}$$
4. **Calculate:**
$$x = 800$$
5. **Answer:** Blake's paycheck is 800.
6. **Problem 2:** Kayla has 8836 in savings. The bank gives a 5% bonus. Find the bonus amount.
7. **Formula:** Bonus = 5% of 8836:
$$\text{Bonus} = 0.05 \times 8836$$
8. **Calculate:**
$$\text{Bonus} = 441.8$$
9. **Answer:** The bank gives Kayla 441.8 as a bonus.
