The problem can be translated into an equation that is something like 4/5 + 3/x = 1/2
we cannot have x equal to zero because the number can be infinite.
So the LCD here is 10x, so multiply both sides by that to get:
8x + 30 = 5x
Subtract 5x and 30 from both sides:
3x = -30
divide:
x = -10
The solution isn't zero so there is a solution.

CD = certificate of deposit (an investment)
Interest rate, i = 10% per annum (simple interest)
Principal, P = $2000 (present value)
Period, T = 3 months = 0.25 year
Simple interest formula
Interest earned = Pit
=2000*0.10*0.25
=$50
Balance at maturity (amount that investor gets after three months)
=$2000+$50
=$2050
