time = distance/speed

Let the distance driven in the city at 20 mph be c miles

Then the distance driven on the highway is 100 - c miles

time driven on highway + time driven in city = total time

→ (100 - c) miles/45 mph + c miles/20 mph = 3 hours

→ (4(100 - c) + 9c)/180 = 3

→ 400 - 4c + 9c = 540

→ 5c = 140

→ c = 28

Therefore the truck drove for 28 miles in the city.
