Together teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2689 base hits last season Pedro had 281 more hits than Ricky how many hits does each player have?

Ricky has 1204 hits and Pedro has 1485 hits

Explanation:

- Let R be the number of hits that Ricky had
- Let P be the number of hits that Pedro had

R + P = 2689

But Pedro has 281 more hit than Ricky

Thus, P = R + 281

Substitute this value in our first equation

R + R + 281 = 2689
2R + 281 = 2689
2R = 2689 - 281
2R = 2408
R = 2408/2
R = 1204

And P = R + 281

But R = 1204

=> P = 1204 + 281 = 1485

Therefore, Pedro has 1485 base hit and Ricky has 1204 hit.
