Answer 2

Pedro and Ricky have 1489 and 1205 hits.

Explanation:

Given:

Together Pedro and Ricky got hits = 2694.

Now, to find the hits of Pedro and Ricky.

Let the hits Ricky had be
`x.`

So, Pedro had hits =
`x+284.`

Together Pedro and Ricky got hits = 2694.

Now, to get the hits each player have:

`x+(x+284)=2694`

`x+x+284=2694`

`2x+284=2694`

Subtracting both sides by 284 we get:

`2x=2410`

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

`x=1205.`

Ricky had = 1205 hits.

Now, substituting the value of
`x` we get:

Pedro had = 1205+284 = 1489.

Thus, Pedro and Ricky have 1489 and 1205 hits.
