Sam starts with $50 and spends $26 on one video game. To find out how much money he has left, we need to subtract the cost of the video game from the total amount he had:
\[ 50 - 26 = 24 \]
Now Sam has $24 remaining. Next, we need to find out how many $9 video games he can buy with this remaining amount. We do this by dividing the leftover money by the cost of one $9 game:
\[ \frac{24}{9} \approx 2.67 \]
Since Sam can only buy whole video games, we take the integer part of this result, which is 2.
Therefore, with the money he has left over, Sam can buy 2 $9 video games.
