The nominal annual interest rate in this problem is 40%. If it were compounded half-yearly, the formula would be x(1.2)^(2t) or x(1.44)^t. Apparently, this problem is more concerned with the equivalent form of the expression than it is with half-yearly compounding.

I believe that 22 is d because 16 divided by 3.20 is 5
sorry if I am wrong
I hope this helps you
