Q:

Puzzle : Blueberries and Cups

Maria have some blueberries and some cups. If she put 9 blueberries into each cup she will have two cups left. If she put 6 blueberries into each cup she will have three blueberries left over.

Answer

The number of blueberries is equal to number of cups multiplied by 4 minus one left.


That is :


      B = 9(C - 2) -> (1)


Then the number of blueberries will be equal to the number of cups times three plus one left.


That is :


      B = 6C + 3 -> (2)


Now substitute the 1st and 2nd equations:


      B = 9(C - 2)


      B = 6C + 3


      C = 7, B = 45.


Therefore Blueberries = 45 and cups = 7.
