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?

[Unknown008]

(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?

[Nargis786]

I'm not sure about the second one

[Unknown008]

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?

[Nargis786]

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

[Unknown008]

Put it in the sentence please:

NottPool raises £_ for every £_ raised by ManScot.

[Nargis786]

Notpool raises £4 for every £1 raised by manscott

[Unknown008]

You got it :)

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?

[Unknown008]

Is that a map or a table? :confused:
