Problem
Two farmers agree that pigs are worth 
dollars and that goats are worth 
dollars. When one farmer owes the other money, he pays the debt in pigs or goats, with "change" received in the form of goats or pigs as necessary. (For example, a 
dollar debt could be paid with two pigs, with one goat received in change.) What is the amount of the smallest positive debt that can be resolved in this way?
$\mathrm{(A) \ } $5\qquad \mathrm{(B) \ } $10\qquad \mathrm{(C) \ } $30\qquad \mathrm{(D) \ } $90 \mathrm{(E) \ } $210$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
