Question

A man ate 100 grapes in 5 days each day he is 6 more grapes then those he ate at on the previous day how many grapes did he eat the first day
​

Answer 1

8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the grapes he ate on first day be 'x'

then, on the second day he will eat 'x+6'

on the third day, he will eat '(x+6)+6'

on the fourth day, he will eat 'x+18'

on the last day, 'x+24'

joining the equation --

x+x+6+x+12+x+18+x+24 = 100

5x+60 = 100

5x = 100-60

x. =40/5

x. =. 8

therefore, he ate 8 grapes on the first day.
