Answer 4

Do you know how to solve it

Answer 6

Do you know how to solve it

Answer 7

So basically, how I would solve this is divide 2667 by 2 because there are two players. Then you would subtract 275 from one of the halves to get Ricky's portion. In order to get Pedro's, you would add 275 to the other half that you got.

Answer 8

2667 - 275

Answer 9

Do these steps and come back :)

I'm really sorry...

Answer 26

It says it is this Remember that the number of base hits that Ricky had is the difference between the total number of base hits and the number of base hits that Pedro had. Please check your answer in the original problem.
