Question

​Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2687 base hits last season. Pedro had 283 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each player​ have?

Answer 1

Ricky hits 1202 base

Pedro hits = 1485 base

Explanation:

Pedro + Ricky = 2687 hits

Let Ricky hits = x

So the Pedro hits will be = x + 283

( x + 283 ) + x = 2687

2 x + 283 = 2687

2 x = 2687 - 283

2 x = 2404

x = 1202

So the Ricky hits 1202 base

Pedro hits (1202 + 283) = 1485 base
