A school collected Rs 2304 as fees from its students. If each student paid as many paise as there were students in the school, how many students were there in the school ?

Explanation

Let the number of students be `x`
Given that each student paid as many paisa as there were students in the school.
Total amount collected = Rs. `2,304` or `230400` paisa.
Now, if one student paid `x` paisa, `x` students must have paid`x^2` paisa in total.
`=>x^2=2304`
`=>x=480`

Hence, there were `480` students in the school.
