    Thomas needs to pay additional US$ 27 for the 15 extra miles not included in the mileage.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's review the information given to us for solving the question:

    Mileage included with the rental = 54 miles

    Additional mile over 54 miles = US$ 1 4/5

    Distance finally driven by Thomas = 69 miles

    2. Let's calculate how much additional money Thomas needs to pay.

    Extra miles driven by Thomas = Distance finally driven - Mileage included

    Extra miles driven by Thomas = 69 - 54

    Extra miles driven by Thomas = 15

    Cost of the additional miles = 15 * 1 4/5

    Cost of the additional miles = 15 * 1.80 ⇒ 4/5 = 0.80

    Cost of the additional miles = 27

    Thomas needs to pay additional US$ 27 for the 15 extra miles not included in the mileage.
