To answer this question, let's analyze the given information step by step:
Let's assume the number of blueberries is represented by 'b' and the number of cups is represented by 'c'.
According to the first statement, if Maria puts 9 blueberries into each cup, she will have two cups left. This can be represented as the equation:
9b = 9c + 2
According to the second statement, if Maria puts 6 blueberries into each cup, she will have three blueberries left over. This can be represented as the equation:
6b = 6c + 3
We now have a system of two equations with two variables. We can solve this system to find the values of 'b' and 'c'.
Let's multiply the first equation by 6 and the second equation by 9 to eliminate 'c':
54b = 54c + 12
54b = 54c + 27
Subtracting the second equation from the first equation, we get:
0 = 15
This is a contradiction, indicating that there is no solution to the system of equations. Therefore, the given information is inconsistent and does not provide a valid answer.
Since none of the provided options match the correct answer, it seems that there may be an error in the question or the given options.
