To determine how many cherries Jake topped his cake with, let's analyze the problem logically by considering the information given about the amount of cherries that each person garnished their cake with. The key information we have is:
- Four people: Jake, Lily, Kate, and Amy.
- Each of them topped their cakes with a different number of cherries: 1, 2, 3, and 4.
However, we need more clues to solve the problem. Please provide additional clues or context about the relationships between how many cherries each person used. Without extra information, we can't definitively determine how many cherries Jake used.
