    This headline was in a newspaper last year.
    Charity Bike Rides
    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
    (a) Was the newspaper headline correct?

    I think yes because 450000 - 150 000 = 300 000
    150 x 2 = 300 000

    is this working out correct?


    This year NottPool raised £200 000 and ManScot raised £50 000
    (b) What do you think this year’s newspaper headline will say?

    I need help with this, don't know how to figure this second part out?

    (a) Yes, though I think the wording could be better.

    Money NottPool raised = £450 000 - £150 000 = £300 000

    Money NottPool raised according to the headline = 2 x £150 000 = £300 000

    (b) It'll be along the same lines as the headline in part (a).

    NottPool raises £?? For every £?? Raised by ManScot.

    What do you think the "???" are?

    I'm not sure about the second one

    NottPool raises £2 for every £1 raised by ManScot.

    They said this initially because NottPool raised £300 000 and ManScot raised £150 000.

    Does that help?

    Would it be something along the line of notpool raises £4

    can you help me with one last question please. I don't get this one at all.
    it says a charity bike ride has three stages.

    stage 1 - machester to leeds
    stage 2 - leeds to carlisle
    stage 3 = carlisle to edinburgh

    the distance in km, between the cities are shown below

    machester
    64 leeds
    160 148 carlisle
    279 260 119 edinburgh

    calculate the total distance of the bike ride

    do I just total everything up?
