Understanding the concept

❍This question is saying that a society who collected 8836 rupees and each member contribute the number of members as many rupees and we are said to find the number of members of the society.

How to solve it

❍As given in the question collected rupees are 8836 rupees and we don't know how many members gave money and how much they gave so for finding number of members in society we will conside number of members is x and how much they gave money is also x then we will square root collected money and after we will get the value of number of members of the society.

❍Let's assume number of members be x and number of money gave by members be x.

According to the question:

• Collected money is 8836 rupees by society members.

no. of given money × no. of members = 8836

$\: \: \: \sf \: \implies \: x \times x = 8836 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \sf \implies {x}^{2} = 8836 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \sf \implies \: x = \sqrt{8836} \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \sf \therefore \: x = 94$

$\therefore$Number of members of the society is 94.
