1) Sunday.
2) 1/5 of 120 = 24, so that left her with 96 apples. $24 dollars for 96 apples can be written as
$24/96 = 0.25 or 25¢ per apple.

1) Sounds like a trick question. The day of the week of tomorrow is the day after today! The words and no. 6 is there to confuse you.
2.)120 / 5 = 24 were bad 120total - 24bad = 96 / $24 =.25cent per apple.

1) get a calendar. From Saturday, go forward 6 days, that's a Friday, which is the "day before yesterday". Go forward another day, that's a Saturday, or "yesterday". "Today" is Sunday. "Tomorrow" is Monday.
2) If 1/5 the apples are rotten, she has 4/5's of the apples she thought she bought. 4/5 * 120 = 96. Price per remaining apple is $24 / 96, or $0.25.

If today is Sunday, yesterday is Saturday, the day before yesterday is Friday. Six days ago from Friday is Saturday.
So tomorrow is Monday.
1/5 of 120 is 24. There were 24 rotten and 120 - 24 = 96 good.
$24/96 = $0.25 per good apple

Sunday
- - - - - - - -
Total apples purchased is 120
Total cost for 120 apples is $ 24.00
- - - - - - - - - - ---
1/5(120) = 24. . .bad apples
120 - 24 = 96. . .Good apples
$ 24 is the cost for 120 apples
find the cost per apple
24 / 120 = 0.20 per apple
Since there 24 apples that were bad
The loss is 24 x 0.2 $ 4.80
The cost of the good apples is 96 x 0.2 = $ 19.20
