First day, he will eat x grapes
Next day, x + 6
Next day, x + 12
Next day, x + 18
Next day, x + 24
Total number of grapes eaten = 5x + 60
5x + 60 = 100
5x = 40
x = 40/5 = 8
So he ate 8,14,20,26 and 32 grapes every day.

He ate a hundred grapes, as previously stated in the question.
HAHAHAHAHA!!
But if you wanted to know by the day....
Day 1 = x
Day 2 = x+6
Day 3 = x + 12
Day 4 = x + 18
Day 5 = x + 24
All 5 days would be the sum of all those.
X+X+6+X+12+X+18+X+24
or
5x + 60
and THAT would equal the 100 total.
5x + 60 = 100
5x = 100 - 60
5x = 40
x = 40/5 = 8
So Day 1 = 8
2 = 14
3 = 20
4 = 26
5 = 32
Total = 100

The first day he ate 8 grapes
then it goes like:
2nd day => 8+6 =14(6 more than previous day)
3rd day => 12+8 = 20 (it was 6 previous day so another 6 more=12)
4th day => 18 +8 =26
5th day => 24 +8 = 32
total makes it 100 grapes in 5 days!!! (8+14+20+26+32)

day 1 x 8
day 2 x+6 14
day 3 x+12 20
day 4 x+18 26
day 5 x+24 32
total -------
100
5x 6+12+18+24=60
5x+60=100
5x+60-60=100-60
5x=40
x=8
