The price of a bushel of corn is currently $3.20, and the price of a peck of wheat is $9.80. The price of corn is increasing at a constant rate of 5x cents per day while the price of wheat is decreasing at a constant rate of x(2^1/2) - x cents per day. What is the approximate price when a bushel of corn costs the same amount as a peck of wheat? Choices:	A) $4.50	B) $5.10	C) $9.30	D) $5.50	E) $5.60
I Tried using Time/Rate approach:-   Initial Price Difference = 9.80 - 3.20= 
<gadget id="calculator">9.80 - 3.20</gadget>
<output>6.6</output>
6.60   Price of $9.30orn increasing by 5x   Price of Wheat decreasing by x(1.4)-x= .4x   Since both the quantities are moving towards reducing the Price Gap hence:-   Relative Increase = 5x +.4x   Let T be the Time by which GAP is filled so,   6.6 = T(5.4x) -&gt; T= (6.6)/5.4X   Final Price = 3.20 + 5X * T -&gt; 3.20 + 5*6.6/5.4 = 9.3   Answer $9.30.
