Final answer:

To find the minimum number of students in Sandva's class, subtract the number of toffees left (10) from the total she won (44). This reveals she has at least 34 students in her class.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about a simple subtraction problem involving a scenario where Sandva won a number of toffees and distributed them among her classmates. To find the number of students in Sandva's class, we need to subtract the number of toffees she has left from the total number she won.

According to the question, Sandva won 44 toffees and has at least 10 toffees left after giving them to her classmates. The minimum number of students in her class will therefore be: 44 toffees - 10 toffees left = 34 students.

We use this approach, knowing she could not have more than 34 students in her class, or else she would not be able to have at least 10 toffees left over after giving one to each classmate.
