Answer:
Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved by a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
x is the number of base hits that Pedro got.
y is the number of base hits that Ricky got.
Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season.
This means that [tex]x + y = 2763[/tex]
Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky.
This means that [tex]x = y + 277[/tex]
Replacing in the first equation
[tex]x + y = 2763[/tex]
[tex]y + 277 + y = 2763[/tex]
[tex]2y = 2486[/tex]
[tex]y = \frac{2486}{2}[/tex]
[tex]y = 1243[/tex]
[tex]x = y + 277 = 1243 + 277 = 1520[/tex]
Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.
