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. |
|
