1. **State the problem:** Blake receives 80 dollars as a gift. He spends 60 dollars on a new game and 8 dollars on snacks. We need to find the percent of the gift money spent on the game, on snacks, and the percent remaining. 2. **Draw a double number line:** - Top line: from 0 to 80 (total gift money). - Bottom line: from 0 to 60 (money spent on game) and 0 to 8 (money spent on snacks), aligned proportionally. 3. **Calculate percent spent on the new game:** $$\text{Percent on game} = \frac{60}{80} \times 100 = 75\%$$ 4. **Calculate percent spent on snacks:** $$\text{Percent on snacks} = \frac{8}{80} \times 100 = 10\%$$ 5. **Calculate percent remaining:** - Total spent = 60 + 8 = 68 - Remaining money = 80 - 68 = 12 - Percent remaining: $$\frac{12}{80} \times 100 = 15\%$$ **Final answers:** - Percent spent on game: 75% - Percent spent on snacks: 10% - Percent remaining: 15%
