Answer: Ricky has 1204 hits and Pedro has 1485 hits
Step-by-step explanation:
- Let R be the number of hits that Ricky had
- Let P be the number of hits that Pedro had
R + P = 2689
But Pedro has 281 more hit than Ricky
Thus, P = R + 281
Substitute this value in our first equation
R + R + 281 = 2689
2R + 281 = 2689
2R = 2689 - 281
2R = 2408
R = 2408/2
R = 1204
And P = R + 281
But R = 1204
=> P = 1204 + 281 = 1485
Therefore, Pedro has 1485 base hit and Ricky has 1204 hit.
