Question

Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2685 base hits last season. Pedro had 279 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each player​ have?

Answer 1

2685-279=2,406

2,406÷2=1,203

Ricky hit 1,203. because Pedro hit 279 so subtract it from 2685 and then divide by 2 and then you get Ricky's and you also get pedros if you add 1203 and 279 which gives you 1482.
