Solve it by reversing what is done to the number. You don't need an equation to do that.

17 is 7 less than ...

so adding 7 to 17, making 24, will give you ... one-fourth of the number. If 24 is one-fouth of the number, multiplying 24 by 4 will give you the number. Doing that tells you the number is 96.

_____

You can do the same solution process using an equation.

(1/4)n - 7 = 17 . . . . . 7 less than 1/4 of a number is 17

(1/4)n = 24 . . . . . . . add 7

n = 4·24 = 96 . . . . multiply by 4

The number is 96.

Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2679 base hits last season. Pedro had 283 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each p
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Pedro: 1481 Base hits

Ricky: 1198 Base hits

Step-by-step explanation:

First, take the total amount of base hits last season 2679, then subtract how many more Pedro has 283.

2679 - 283 = 2396 now divide the sum in half  2396 ÷ 2 = 1198 that gives you how many each player has, you're then going to add the amount that you took off to only Pedras total since he had 283 more

Pedro: 1198 + 283 = 1481

Ricky: 1198
