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.
