Answer 2

Answer:

The amount contributed by each student = Rs. 37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount donated by each student = Number of students in the class

The amount donated by the teacher =  Rs. 131

Total amount collected = Rs. 1500

To find,

The amount contributed by each student.

Solution:

Let 'x' be the number of students

Then as per the given condition, the amount contributed by each student = x

Total amount contributed by the students = x×x = x²

The total amount collected = Amount contributed by students +Amount contributed by teacher

Since the total amount collected is 1500, we have

1500 = x² + 131

x² = 1500 - 131

= 1369

x = $\sqrt{1369}$ = 37

∴ The amount contributed by each student = Rs. 37
