<h3>Answer:  2</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

If a number only has one factor pair, then that number must be prime. This is because prime numbers only have factors of 1 and the number itself.

For instance, the value 7 is prime because the only factors of this are 1 and 7.

For something like the number 32, it is composite and not prime because it has the factors {1,2,4,8,16,32} and it leads to these three factor pairs: 1*32, 2*16, 4*8. This is one example showing why the answer isn't composite.

-----------

Let's say that p is the unknown prime we want to find. The factors of this are 1 and p. We're told that "one of the factors is twice the other factor", so that must mean p = 2*1 = 2. We can see that 2 is twice that of 1.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The total number of cookies baked by grandma = 96

Number of grandchildren = 8

As given, all cookies were evenly divided among 8 children, let us assume that everyone except Cindy got equal share. So on being divided equally, it becomes, \frac{96}{8}=12 cookies per children.

But, as mentioned that Cindy received 'c' cookies less, so let us suppose Cindy received 'x' cookies.

Expression becomes: x=12-c

Hence, Cindy received 12-c cookies.

bulgar [2K]

<u>The toy store received $208</u><u> from selling action figures</u>.

Knowing that each action figure is $8 in the toy store, we can multiply that by the quantity of action figures sold to get the total amount of money received.

26 times $8 is $208.
