Answer:

Option c.

Explanation:

Louisa kept the truck for 3 days, so her daily fix charge = $28 × 3

= $84

She paid her rental without tax = $153.72

Her travelling charges are = 153.72 - 84 = $69.72

Her charges per mile = $0.42

She traveled = 69.72 ÷ 0.42 = 166 miles

Louisa drove the truck 166 miles.
