Paul has a job raking leaves for a neighbor. He makes ​$6.40 an​ hour, plus ​$0.30 for each bag he fills. Last Saturday he worked four hours and made a total of ​$26.20. How many bags of leaves did he​ fill?
Let number of bags filled be B
Then we get: 4(6.4) + .3B = 26.2
25.6 + .3B = 26.2
.3B = .6
B, or number of bags filled was: highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+.6%2F.3%2C+or%2C+2%29%29
