A society collected 72.25. If each member of thesociety collected as many paise as there were members,then how much did each contribute?

To find out how much each member contributed, we need to divide the total amount collected by the number of members in the society.

Given that the society collected 72.25, we need to determine the number of members. Unfortunately, the number of members is not provided in the question.

If we assume that the number of members is 'x', then each member would have collected 'x' paise.

To find the value of 'x', we can set up an equation.

x * x = 72.25

Simplifying this equation, we have:

x^2 = 72.25

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

x = √72.25

Calculating the square root of 72.25, we find that x is approximately 8.5.

Therefore, each member of the society contributed approximately 8.5 paise.
