Answer:
210 students run track and 98 students play baseball
Step-by-step explanation:
For every 15 students who run track there are 7 students who play baseball
There are 112 more students who run track than play baseball
Let y represent the various groups of students
15 × y= 15y
7 × y= 7y
15y - 7y = 112
8y = 112
Divide both side by the coefficient of y which is 8
8y/8 = 112/8
y= 14
Therefore the number of students that run track is
= 15 × 14
= 210
The number of student that play baseball is
= 7 × 14
= 98
Hence 210 students run track and 98 students play baseball
