The document asks questions about calculating Rummy's real income in terms of cake slices, the relative price of cake compared to burgers, the equation for Rummy's budget line with $40 income, how his budget line changes if income increases to $60, and how it changes if cake price doubles to $4 but income stays $40. It also asks how many $5 burgers Rummy could buy if his income was $20 and he spent it all on burgers.
