Question

?Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2685 base hits last season. Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each player? have

Answer 1

Ricky had 1204 hits and Pedro had 1481 hits last season.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call Ricky's hits 'x'.

Then Pedro's hits would be 'x + 277'.

To figure out the total number of hits, we can add their hits together:

x + (x + 277) = 2685

Combining like terms, we get:

2x + 277 = 2685

Subtracting 277 from both sides:

2x = 2408

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 1204

So Ricky had 1204 hits and Pedro had 1204 + 277 = 1481 hits.

Answer 2

Answer: Ricky: 1204, Pedro: 1481

Step-by-step explanation:

If Pedro hit 277 more base hits that Ricky, and together they hit 2685, then

2685=2x+277

2x=2408

x=1204

so Ricky hit 1204 base hits and Pedro hit 1481.
