Let the number of bananas he ate first day be x.
then x+x+6+x+12+x+18+x+24=100

=>5x+60=100
=>5x=40
x=8
that is, he ate 8 bananas on first day.

In a theatre the ratio of car & two wheeler is 1:8. Total Number of tyres are 100. Find how many are cars and how many are two wheelers?

There will be system:
2x + 4y = 100
8y=x

where x - amount of bikes; y - amount of cars;

16y + 4y =100 >> 20y=100 >> y =5 (cars)
x = 5*8 = 40 (bikes)

Wheel ratio= 4:16=1:4
so,
cars=100*1/5=20
and
bike=100-20=80
