Answer:

Further explanation:

First we got the information if

• $\boxed{\frac{4}{5}}$ = do not wear glasses

• The total of students are equal with one or $\boxed{\frac{5}{5} }$.

• It means the proportion of user who wear glasses is$\boxed{\frac{5}{5}-\frac{4}{5}= \frac{1}{5}}$

From this information we can process

• $\boxed{\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{5}}\times 60=240 }$
• It means the total students in the class is the accumulation between student without glasses and with glasses or 240 + 60 = 300 students
