Let the no of hotdogs he ate on the first day be x.

Then he ate x+7 on the second day, x+14 on the third, x+21 on the forth and x+28 on the fifth.

x+x+7+x+14+x+21+x+28=125

5x+70=125

5x=55

x=11

All you have to do is subtract 7 from 125. Then do it again. And again and again until you subtract 7 from the nuimber you get 4 times.
