Question

​Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2679 base hits last season. Pedro had 285 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each player​ have?

Answer 1

2679 / 2 = 1339.5

Pedro had 285 hits more so by doing the following:

285 / 2 = 142.5

Therefore Pedro has in total:

1339.5 + 142.5 = 1482 base hits

Ricky therefore had 1339.5 - 142.5 = 1197

Answer:

Pedro = 1482 base hits
Ricky = 1197 base hits

Difference of 285.

I hope this helps you.
Have a great day
