In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

walk for hunger:

donations = $85.50

mile ==> $5.25

total amount = $216.75

Step 02:

total miles:

total amount = donations + #miles * rate ( $ per mile)

216.75 = 85.50 + #miles * 5.25

216.75 - 85.50 = #miles * 5.25

131.25 / 5.25 = #miles

25 = #miles

The answer is:

He walked 25 miles
