Given that,

Total number of students = 35,

Total number of teachers = 6.

Number of chocolates got by each student = 35 × (20/100) = 7

Number of chocolates got by each teacher = 35 × (40/100) = 14

Total number of chocolates got by all the students = 35 × 7 = 245

Total number of chocolates got by all the teachers = 6 × 14 = 84

∴ Total number of chocolates there = 245 + 84 = 329
