Answer:
The infielders made a total of 12 outs and outfielders made a total of 14 outs.
Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total outs made by infielders
Let y be the total outs made by outfielders.
Total ousts were 26 so we have ;
or
Given is that 50% of the outs made by infielders and 100% of the outs made by outfielders were fly balls.
We get ;
Substituting the value of x here we het
y = 14
And
=>
x = 12
So, infielders made a total of 12 outs of which 50% were fly balls that means 6 were fly balls.
And outfielders made a total of 14 outs of which 100% were fly balls which means 14 fly balls.
Lets check the fly balls count = (as given)
So, infielders made a total of 12 outs and outfielders made a total of 14 outs.
