Let's minimum no of students=money collected from each student=x
Therefore,
x*x=2209
=>x=sqrt of 2209=47
minimum no of members in group are 47 nos and money collected from each member also 47 $.
so ans is 47 members

You'll seek me when you are in need,

Some will collect as many of me as possible.
Others will only need one of me to feel full.
