Question

Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2680 base hits last season. Pedro had 280 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each player​ have?

Answer 1

Ricky it is 1,202

And for Pedro 1202 + 276 = 1478

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume the ricky be x,

So, pedro be x + 276

Now the equation is,

x + x + 276 = 2680

2x + 276 = 2680

2x = 2680-276

2x = 2404

x = 1,202

For Ricky it is 1,202

And for Pedro 1202 + 276=1478
