Question

I collected some money by raising subscription for opening a library. If the whole amount collected be Rs.160 and each person subscribed as many 10 paise as there were subscribers altogether, find the amount paid by each Subscriber

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount paid by each Subscriber would be 4 rupees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of subscribers,

So, according to the question,

Amount subscribed by one subscriber = 10x,

Thus, total subscription = Number of subscriber × subscription amount

= 10x²,

Again, according to the question,

$10x^2 = 16000$   ( 160 rupees = 16000 paise )

$x^2 = 1600$

$\implies x = \sqrt{1600}=40$

Hence, the amount paid by each Subscriber = 400 paise = 4 rupees.

Answer 2

Answer:

$Amount \: paid \: by \: each \: subscriber = Rs\:4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Let \: number \: of \: subscribers = x$

$Amount \: subscribed \: by \: each \\subscriber = 10x$

$Amount \: paid \: by \: each \: subscriber = \frac{10x}{100}$

$Whole \: amount \: collected = Rs \:160$

$\implies x\left{10x}{100} = 160$

$\implies \frac{x^{2}}{10} = 160$

$\implies x^{2} = 1600$

$\impliee x = \sqrt{1600} = 40$

Therefore.,

$Amount \: paid \: by \: each \: subscriber\\ = \frac{10x}{100}\\= \frac{10 \times 40}{100}\\= 4$
