Answer 1

Answer:

480

Step-by-step explanation:

• let the total students in the school are N. and each student paid N paisa.
• so the total amount collected by school = N*N = N²
• but according to question total amount is 2304 rs.
• so $N^{2}$ = 2304 *100 ( we converted rs. into paisa )
• N = $\sqrt{230400}$
• N = 480
