Let the number of students in the class be x.
Given that half of the students were playing the field = x - (x/2)
= x/2.
Given that three fifths of the remaining went to an ice cream shop. = (3/5)(x/2).
Given that rest 8 stayed in the class.
= > (x/2) + (3x/10) + 8 = x
= > (x/2) + (3x/10) = x - 8
= > -x/5 = -8
= > x = 40.
Therefore the number of students in the class = 40.
Hope this helps!
