Don't stress.

In order to do this I'll give it in steps.

If you have a calculator available get it out.

Step 1: 220.02-16.99=203.03

Step 2: 203.03 divide by 0.75=257 miles

Answer 257 miles.

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
