Question

A school collected 2601 as fees from its students. If fee paid by each student and number students in the school were equal how many students were there in the school.​

Answer 1

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

Let no: of students = X

Fees paid by each student = X (since its same as number of students)

Fees paid by all students = X*X = 2601

Number of students = X = SQRT (2601) = 51

Answer 2

Given:

• School fee collected is Rs 2601
• Number of students = School fee for each student

To Find:

• The number of students

Explanation

Since the number of students and the school fee is the same. It means that we can assign them the same variable. Therefore, the number of students can be easily solved by finding the square root of the total fee collected.

Solution

Define x:

Let the number of students be x

The amount of school fee each student paid = x

Solve x:

(x) (x) = 2601

x² = 2601

x = √2601

x = 51

Answer: There are 51 students
