Question

Two minor league baseball players got a total of 220 hits. Washington had 10 more hits than Sanchez. Find the number of hits for each player.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• Washington: 115 hits
• Sanchez: 105 hits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the number of hits Washington got. Then their total is ...

  w + (w -10) = 220

  2w = 230

  w = 115 . . . . . . . the number of Washington's hits

  w -10 = 105 . . . the number of Sanchez's hits
