Buckley Trucking has $833 to pay for bridge tolls. If each toll is $8, how many tolls can the company pay?

1 answer

To determine how many tolls Buckley Trucking can pay with $833 when each toll costs $8, you need to divide the total amount of money by the cost per toll.

\[ \text{Number of tolls} = \frac{\text{Total amount}}{\text{Cost per toll}} = \frac{833}{8} \]

Now, perform the division:

\[ \frac{833}{8} = 104.125 \]

Since Buckley Trucking cannot pay for a fraction of a toll, we take the whole number part of that result:

\[ \text{Number of tolls} = 104 \]

Therefore, Buckley Trucking can pay for 104 tolls.
