Some students planned for a picnic. The budget for the food was Rs 480. As 8 of them failed to join the party, the cost of the food for each member increased by Rs 10. Find how many students went for the party.

• 16
  If original number of students=x,then
  (480/x)+10=480/(x-8)
  x^2-8x-384=0
  (x-24)(x+16),x=24
  students went for picnic=24-8=16
