Solution
There are 30 students and 2 teachers.
Sweets received by each student = $\frac{20}{100} * 30$ = 6
=> Total sweets received by all the students = 30 * 6 = 180
Sweets received by each teacher = $\frac{30}{100} * 30$ = 9
=> Total sweets received by both teachers = 2 * 9 = 18
$\therefore$ Total sweets distributed in class = 180 + 18 = 198
