Answer 2

Answer: Number of blueberries picked by Nico =78

Number of blueberries picked by Kai =858

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Kai picked 11 times as many blueberries as Nico.  

Let , Number of blueberries picked by Nico =x

Then, Number of blueberries picked by Kai = 11x

Together, they picked 936 blueberries.

$\Rightarrow\ x+11x=936\\\\\Rightarrow\ 12x=936\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{936}{12}=78$

Now, Number of blueberries picked by Nico =78

Then, Number of blueberries picked by Kai = 11(78) =858
