You: Today is Tuesday. On Thursday last week, I had 10 apples. Then on Saturday I ate 5. I bought 8 apples, and 3 oranges yesterday. What day was yesterday?
Here's how to solve this problem:
* **"Thursday last week" was 5 days before Tuesday.** Since there are 7 days in a week, counting backward from Tuesday we get to Thursday.
* **"Yesterday" was 2 days before today.** Since today is Tuesday, yesterday was Monday.
Therefore, yesterday was Monday.
You: How many apples do I have today?
Let's break down the problem:
* You started with 10 apples on Thursday last week.
* You ate 5 apples on Saturday, leaving you with 10 - 5 = 5 apples.
* You bought 8 apples yesterday, so you had 5 + 8 = 13 apples.
Therefore, you have 13 apples today.
You: How many oranges did I have on Saturday?
You didn't have any oranges on Saturday because you bought 3 oranges yesterday.
