We have such equation
1.25x=0.75x+50 /-0.75x (subtract 0.75 both sides)
1.25x-0.75x=0.75x-0.75x+50
0.5x=50 /*2 (multiply both sides times 2)
0.5x*2=50*2
x=100 - its the answer

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Brandon

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Branden and Pete each play running back. Branden carries the ball $75$ times for $550$ yards, and Pete has $42$ carries for $380$ yards.

TO FIND: Who runs farther per carry.

SOLUTION:

Total yards traveled by Brandon $=550\text{yards}$

No. of times ball carried by Brandon $=75\text{ times}$

Average yards per carry for Brandon $=\frac{\text{total yards traveled}}{\text{number of times ball carried}}$

$=\frac{550}{75}$

$=\frac{22}{3}\text{ yards per carry}$

$=7.33\text{ yards per carry}$

Total yards traveled by Pete $=380\text{ yards}$

No. of times ball carried by Pete $=42\text{ times}$

Average yards per carry for Pete $=\frac{\text{total yards traveled}}{\text{number of times ball carried}}$

$=\frac{380}{42}$

≅ $9\text{ yards per carry}$

As the number of yards per carry is higher for Brandon , therefore he runs farther per carry.
