Let’s break down the problem step by step to find out what day it is today.
1. Identify the reference day: The problem states that 3 days after Sunday is the day before the day before yesterday.
2. Calculate 3 days after Sunday:
– Sunday + 1 day = Monday
– Monday + 1 day = Tuesday
– Tuesday + 1 day = Wednesday
So, 3 days after Sunday is Wednesday.
3. Understand the phrase ‘the day before the day before yesterday’:
– ‘Yesterday’ is 1 day before today.
– ‘The day before yesterday’ is 2 days before today.
– ‘The day before the day before yesterday’ is 3 days before today.
4. Set up the equation:
– 3 days before today = Wednesday
5. Solve for today:
– If 3 days before today is Wednesday, then today is Wednesday + 3 days.
– Wednesday + 1 day = Thursday
– Thursday + 1 day = Friday
– Friday + 1 day = Saturday
So, today is Saturday.
Therefore, the day today is Saturday.
