Johnny had 20 dollars to spend. He bought 4 cakes from the bakery. He gave away 1/4 of the cakes he bought to some poor people on the street. He didn’t like the cake, so he gave the cakes back to the bakery, getting his money back. Bob started off with 8 dollars. He sold two of the cakes that he had. How much did each cake cost?

First of all I don’t get this. I think I can’t really understand. I have a question did Johnny give beggar a cake or a the money? Anyway the equation problem should be like this. Johnny had 20 dollars to spend. He bought 4 cakes from the bakery. He gave 1/4 of his money that left over, and gave it to beggar. Bob started off with 8 dollars, and he bought 2 cakes. The money that beggar has(the money that Johnny gave to him) is the same amount of money that Bob has right know. What’s the price of the cake? So there is 2 problems. You should compare the money that beggar had and Bob had, also Bob should buy the cake not to sell the cake.
I don't really understand this word problem and I didn't know how to write the equation. From the part when you said bob started off with 8 dollars and that confused me. I think to make this better, you need to have better word choice that you don't confuse the reader. :)
After I read this problem I did not understand it. The problem wasn't clear, so I wasn't sure how to set up a equation. Its just really confusing. I think to make this better is by making the problem more organized and clear.
Johnny had 20 dollars to spend. He bought 4 cakes from the bakery with a unknown price. He gave away 1/4 of the money he had left to some poor people on the street. The cake that was left was sold by the same price that it was bought. Then, he had a certain amount of money left. Meanwhile, Bob started off with 8 dollars. He bought 2 cakes from the same bakery with the same price. The money he had left was the same amount as the money that Johnny had left in the end. How much does one cake cost?
