Question

together Jojo and Ricky got 2669 base hit last season. Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky. how many hit did each player have.

Answer 1

pedro hits + Ricky hits = 2669

let

pedro hits = x

Ricky hits = y

x = 277 + y

x + y = 2669

Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} 277+y+y=2669 \\ 2y=2669-277 \\ y=(2392)/(2)=1196 \\ \\ x\text{ = 277+1196} \\ x=1473 \end{gathered}`

pedro hits = 1473

Ricky hits = 1196
