Factors are the numbers you multiply together to get another number. When you find the factors of two or more numbers, and then find some factors are the same ("common"), then they are the "common factors<span>"
</span>Example: 12 and 30
• The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12
• The factors of 30 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15 and 30
<span>So the common factors of 12 and 30 are: 1, 2, 3 and 6

Answer: 486.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!!
Given :
The total cost for 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts is $61.
The total cost for 3 pairs of paints and 4 shirts is $67.
<em>Let's take the cost for each pair of paints as 'p' and the cost for each shirt as 's'. </em>
Now, let's get these into an equation.
<em>Peter's equation</em> :
... 2p + 5s = 61
<em>Jessica's equation : </em>
...3p + 4s = 67
......................................................................................................
2p + 5s = 61 --- (1)
3p + 4s = 67 --- (2)
Multiply the first equation with 3 and the second equation with 2.
6p + 15s = 183
6p + 8s = 134
S<em>ubtract both the equations - </em>
... 7s = 49
Divide both sides with 7.
... s = 7
<u><em>Hence, the cost of each shirt is $7. </em></u>
Hope my answer helps!!
