1. Total number of cakes ordered = 5
2. Anne paid for 3 cakes, so she contributed (3/5) of the total cost.
3. Bella paid for 2 cakes, so she contributed (2/5) of the total cost.
4. Since Cindy and David didn't pay for any cakes, they contributed 0.
5. David suggests that himself and Cindy should contribute $5 each, so together they contribute $10.
6. Total amount contributed by all four friends = 3 (Anne) + 2 (Bella) + 0 (Cindy) + 0 (David) + 10 (David and Cindy's contribution) = $15
7. Since the total cost of the cakes is $15, each friend should contribute $3.
8. Anne contributed $9 (3 cakes x $3 per cake) and Bella contributed $6 (2 cakes x $3 per cake).
9. Anne will get back $6 ($9 - $3) and Bella will get back $3 ($6 - $3) each.
