Question

Together teammates pedro and ricky got 2685 base hits last season. Pedro had 275 more than ricky. How many hits did each player have?

Answer 1

Answer:
Pedro = 1,480 hits
Ricky = 1,205 hits

Explanation:
2685(total) - 275(extra hits Pedro had) = 2,410

Take 2,410 and divide by 2 (Pedro and Ricky) = 1,205

1,205 (Ricky) + 1,205+275(Pedro)
1,205 + 1,480
= 2,685
