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.
