To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations based on the information given. Let $w$, $c$, and $r$ represent the price per bushel of wheat, corn, and rye, respectively. We have:1. $10w + 8c + 5r = 67.80$2. $8w + 5c + 10r = 67.90$3. $5w + 10c + 8r = 69.00$Solving this system of equations, we find that $c = 3.10$, which means the price per bushel for corn is $3.10.
