Solution
There are 55 students and 3 teachers.
Sweets received by each student = $\frac{20}{100} * 55$ = 11
=> Total sweets received by all the students = 55 * 11 = 605
Sweets received by each teacher = $\frac{60}{100} * 55$ = 33
=> Total sweets received by both teachers = 3 * 33 = 99
$\therefore$ Total sweets distributed in class = 605 + 99 = 704
