R = $168.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since m represents the number of miles he drives in a day and we are given that Bruce drove 220 miles, then we can set the equation as R = 0.575 (220) + 42.

0.575 times 220 is equal to 126.5, so we simplify the equation to R = 126.5 + 42, which further simplifies as R = 168.5. So the answer is $168.5.
