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**.
