A society collected Rs `92.16`
Each member collected as many paise as there are members.
so let the number of members `= s`
contribution of each member will also be `s`
`=>s xx s= 92.16 `
`=>s² = 92.16 `
`=>s = 9.6` paise
So each contributed `9.6` paise
We can say `10` people were there {not exactly}[rounding of `9.6 = 10`]but if the question was Rs `9216` then no. of people is `96`
