Question

The last time John met an animal trader, the trade went wrong. The animal trader gave a bit weird information, but this time John promises the animal trader he found is honest and fair! Anyways, John gotta trade the Rainbow Fish he got last time for some Creepy Birds, as the Rainbow Fish didn't taste as well as he expected. In each trade, the same animal has the same value everywhere. Here are some of the past trades:

6 Creepy Birds trade for 2 Rainbow Fishes and 4 Drunken Butterchickens
9 Drunken Butterchickens trade for 1 Creepy Bird and 4 Flying Cheesebugs
3 Quantum Apes trade for 3 Rainbow Fishes, 3 Creepy Birds and 1 Drunken Butterchicken
7 Creepy Birds and 1 Quantum Ape trade for 4 Rainbow Fishes and 4 Drunken Butterchickens

How many Creepy Birds will John get for 7 Rainbow Fishes?

PS: Add your logic. If you add your logic, your answer might still be counted correct, even if it's not the solution I came up with. This could be possible if there are multiple solutions. I'm not sure if there are though... I usually try to limit the solutions to only one: mine!

Correct! The answer is indeed 15 Creepy Birds for 7 Rainbow Fishes :)
Well Done

I cannot find a solution. Can you please recheck ;-)
The flying cheesebugs only occur in one equation and thats why there is no solution to this at all this time

checked it. It's correct. There is a solution...I solved it on paper just now.

John will get 3 Creepy Birds for 7 Rainbow Fishes.

Sorry, but the correct answer is 15 Creepy Birds. The logic for this is:
6C = 2R + 4D
9D = C + 4F
3Q = 3R + 3C + D
7C + Q = 4R + 4D

(14/6)R + (28/6)D + Q = 4R + 4D
Q = (5/3)R - (⅔)D
D = 3Q - 3R - 3C
D = 5R - 2D - 3R - 3C
3D = 2R - 3C
6C = 4R - 6D
4R - 6D = 2R + 4D
R = 5D
6C = (14/5)R
30C = 14R
15C = 7R

Values of each:
R = 15
C = 7
D = 3
F = 5
Q = 23

I would add my logic but even I'm not sure I can follow all my equations. I did break it down to 3 rainbow = 3/2 creepy - 1/2 rainbow which leads to 7 rainbow for 3 creepy.
