Jack, Tom, and Ned sold peaches on the same day at precisely the same
rate, and each received the same amount of money; but Tom sold three
times and Ned five times as many as Jack. The reason of this was that
peaches rose immensely in the course of the day, and Jack had kept the
larger portion of his until the afternoon. As each boy sold at the same
morning and afternoon market values, the puzzle is to find out what
those rates were, how much money each boy received, and how many peaches
each boy sold.
