Q8 of 67 Page 168

A sum of Rs. 2304 is equally distributed among several people. Each gets as many rupees as the number of persons. How much does each one get?

Let the number of persons be x.


According to the question,


Money given to each person = Rs x


⇒ No. of persons × money given to each person = Total sum distributed


⇒x × x = 2304


⇒x2 = 2304


∵ 482 = 2304


⇒ x = 48


Each person gets Rs 48.
