Pedro had 1482 hits and Riley had 1200 hits.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Number of base hits = 2682
Let,
Number of Pedro's hits = x
Number of Riley's hits = y
According to given statement;
x+y=2682 Eqn 1
x = y+282 Eqn 2
Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1
[tex](y+282)+y=2682\\y+282+y=2682\\2y=2682-282\\2y=2400[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 2
[tex]\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{2400}{2}\\y=1200[/tex]
Putting y=1200 in Eqn 2
[tex]x=1200+282\\x=1482[/tex]
Pedro had 1482 hits and Riley had 1200 hits.
