If the total round-trip mileage was 100 miles, and the friends returned the truck after 3 hours 20 minutes, how much did the friends owe for renting the truck?

Total time = \(3\) hours \(20\) minutes
Charge \(= $19.99\) per hour or portion thereof
So it will be considered \(4\) hours regardless. Charge \(= 19.99 * 4 = 79.96\)
Total distance covered \(= 100\) miles with the charge of \($0.55/\)mile
Charge \(= $55\)
Final rate \(= 79.96 + 55 = 134.96\)
Answer $134.96
