the price of commodity x increases by 45 cents every year, while the price of commodity y increases by 20 cents every year. in 2001, the price of commodity x was $ 5.20 and the price of commodity y was $ 7.30. in which year will the price of commodity x be 10 cents less than the price of commodity y?
add(2001, divide(add(divide(10, const_100), subtract(7.30, 5.20)), subtract(divide(45, const_100), subtract(7.30, 5.20))))
"the price of commodity x increases 25 cents each year relative to commodity y . the price difference is $ 2.10 and commodity x needs to be 10 cents less than commodity y . $ 2.00 / 25 cents = 8 years the answer is 2001 + 8 years = 2009 . the answer is b ."
