Answer:
To factor an integer, we need to divide it by the ascending sequence of primes 2, 3, 5
In the end, the number of times each prime divides the original integer becomes its exponent.
Prime number 2 to the power of 2 equals 4 .
Prime number 3 to the power of 1 equals 3 .

Let's write 2 equations from the two statements given.
<em>Sarah spent 10 dollars on both oranges and apples</em>
<em />
Let the price of oranges be "x" and price of apples be "y", thus we can write:
Oranges cost 3 less than apples, thus we can say:
We can substitute this into the first equation and solve for y:
Thus, let's solve for x now,
We want the price of oranges (x), thus,
<em>Price of Oranges = $3.50</em>
