Total of 90 fish:
c + p = 90
Charlie gave 1/4 c to Peter. Now
Charlie has c - (1/4) c
Peter has p + (1/4) c
Peter gave 2/5 of his to Charlie. Now
Peter has p + (1/4) c - 2/5( p + (1/4) c )
Charlie has c - (1/4) c + 2/5( p + (1/4) c )
And then they had equal number:
c - (1/4) c + 2/5( p + (1/4) c ) = p + (1/4) c - 2/5( p + (1/4) c )
Let's do the easy subtractions then multiply by 20 to clear the fractions,
(3/4) c + 2/5( p + (1/4) c ) = 3/5( p + (1/4) c )
15c + 8p + 2c = 12p + 3c
14c = 4p
7c = 2p
c + p = 90
2c + 2p = 180
2c + 7c = 180
9c = 180
c = 20
p = 70
Answer: Charlie started with 20, Peter with 70
Check:
Initially C:20, P:70
1/4(20)=5 to P
C:15, P:75
(2/5) 75 = 30 to C
C:45, P45

Using compound interest, the rates per compounding period are given as follows:
a) 0.1273 = 12.73%.
b) 0.0833 = 8.33%
c) 0.0617 = 6.17%
<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>
The amount of money earned, in compound interest, after t years, is given by:

In which:
- A(t) is the amount of money after t years.
- P is the principal(the initial sum of money).
- r is the interest rate(as a decimal value).
- n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.
The <u>interest rate per compounding period</u> is given as follows:

For item a, the parameters are:
r = 0.12, n = 52.
Hence:

For item b, the parameters are:
r = 0.08, n = 104.
Hence:

For item c, the parameters are:
r = 0.06, n = 12.
Hence:
