the headline in the newspaper last year was 'nottpool raises £2 for every £1 raised by manscot'.

sanjay knows that manscot raised £150 000 last year

the total raised last year by the two bike rides was £450 000

was the newspaper headline correct?

I guessed yes because 450000-150000 = 300000
150 000 x 2 = 300000

is this correct?

the answer I got is yes because 450 000 - 150 000 = 300 000
150 000 x 2 = 300 000

is this calcualtion correct?

Also this year nottpool raised £200 000 and manscot raised £50 000
what do you think this headline will say?

I need help with this

You need to figure out how many stages she completed.
The 134 km have 8 stages of equal distance. So how many km are that per stage?
