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,
though I won't be found if you act on greed.
Some will collect as many of me as possible.
Others will only need one of me to feel full.
