To find out how much Jarvis paid to rent the tool, we need to add the rental fee of $45 to the fee for returning the tool dirty, which is calculated as 8% of the tool's value.
The fee for returning the tool dirty is 8/100 * $179 = $<<8/100*179=14.32>>14.32.
Therefore, Jarvis paid $45 + $14.32 = $<<45+14.32=59.32>>59.32 to rent the tool.
