Question

Mr. Macho, my Great Dane, ate 125 hot dogs over a five day period. Each day he ate seven more hotdogs than on the previous day. How many hot dogs did he eat on the first day?

Tell me how to do it please

Answer 1

He has to eat 125 hot dogs total and started with 16 hot dogs. So if he ate 15 hot dogs the first day, then 25 the second, 32 the third, 39 the fourth, and 46 the fifth. 16+23+30+37+44=150
