Our Solution:
Altogether Horace collected $22,00 from his sponsors. $10,00 of that came from Tanya, Albert and Nigel, so that means the others paid him $12,00. Adding up the Amount Per km column we see that Horace was sponsored $1,00 per km altogether. That means he walked 12 km to raise his $12,00, giving him the required $22,00 in total.
