    Answer: Hong drove the truck for 294 miles.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let m represent the number of miles for which he drove the truck.

    There was a base fee of $20.95, and there was an additional charge of 90 cents for each mile driven. It means that the expression for the cost of driving the truck for m miles in a day is

    20.95 + 0.9m

    Hong had to pay $285.55 when he returned the truck. It means that

    20.95 + 0.9m = 285.55

    0.9m = 285.55 - 20.95

    0.9m = 264.6

    m = 264.6/0.9

    m = 294 miles
