105 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seeks to know the number of miles traveled by Tiera given that she received a certain amount of money in payment.

The total amount of money she received is $147. She receives $7 for every 5 miles traveled. The number of 5 miles traveled is calculated as 147/7 = 21

This means she traveled 5 miles 21 times.

Thus, the total number of miles she had traveled would be 21 * 5 = 105 miles in total
