125/5=25

So the first day Mr. Macho ate 25 hot dogs and gradually picked up every single day with another 25 of them 😉 .

Answer is 11 if I understood the question correctly.

Assuming he takes x hot dogs on day 1

we have equation x+(x+7)+ (x+14) +(x+21) +(x+28)=125
so x=11 😊
Hope this post doesnot get deleted once again. 😃
