Student Council earned $26 selling
bottled water, $32 selling oranges, and
$28 selling energy bars. If all items cost
the same, what is the greatest possible
price per item?
A $2
C $7
B $4
D $8

Option A

The greatest possible  price per item is $ 2

Solution:

Given that,

Student Council earned $26 selling  bottled water

$32 selling oranges

$28 selling energy bars

If all items cost  the same, what is the greatest possible  price per item

Which means, we have to find the greatest common factor of 26, 32 , 28

Find GCF of 26, 32 , 28

The factors of 26 are: 1, 2, 13, 26

The factors of 28 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28

The factors of 32 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

Then the greatest common factor is 2

Thus the greatest possible  price per item is $ 2
