In a class each of the students contributed as many paise as there as a number of students. If the total collection was RS 64, what is the number of students in the class?
Answers
Answer:
The number of students is 8
Steps:
As per the question the no. of students is equal to the number of rupees they have to pay..
Number of students is x
This means that :-
No. of students = Amount in Rs
x = x
And
x × x = 64
x^2 =64
x=√64
x=8
Answer:
There are 80 students in the class
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there be 'x' students in the class.
Given that each student contributes as many paise as there are number of students.
=> Each student contributes 'x' paise
Given that the total collection = Rs. 64
We know that Rs. 1 = 100 p
=> Rs. 64 = 6400 p
Total amount = No. of students * Contribution of 1 student
6400 = x * x
=> 6400 = x²
=> x = √6400
=> x = 80
Therefore, there are 80 students in the class and each student contributes 80 paise
