8-24.
First solve for the lower half of the diagram.
Since the entire diagram is representative of 100% of the students, and the first portion represents 60%, the second portion must represent 40%.
28 students is 40% of how many total students?
To find the remaining amount of students for the first portion, subtract 28 from the total amount of students.
