find how much free time he has per week
assuming our week has 7 days and he even does this on Saturday ad Sunday,

freetimetotal in 1 week=freetime per day times 7=5*7=35


so percent free time spent on video games and internet=(videogames+internet)/totaltimeperweek=(8+10)/35=18/35≈0.514≈51%

the answer is A. 51%

also, regarding how much he's playing:

Answer:

He spent a total of 22.85+28.57 = 51.42 % of his free time o internet and videogames.

Explanation:

If Gary has 5 hours of free time per day, he has 5*7=35 hours of free time per week.

Now, in the case of internet:


(35h)/(8h)= (100)/(x)


x= (8*100)/(35)

x= 22.85% spent on internet.

In the case of videogames:


(35h)/(10h)= (100)/(x)


x= (10*100)/(35)

x= 28.57% spent on internet.
