Question

A school collected Rs 2304 as fees from its students. If each student

paid as many paisa as there were students in the school, how many

students were there in the school?

Answer 1

Let no. of students be x

so, fee paid by each student = Rs. x

So, total fee = x × x

According to question, x^2 = 2304

so, x = 48

Hence there were 48 students.

Thanks.
