Figure 19 shows a chart used by opticians to test a person's vision.
The person's vision is judged by the lowest row of letters they can read.
(i) An optician tested the eyesight of 240 people.
35% of these people could read the normal vision row without wearing glasses.
The rest of the people need glasses to correct their vision.
Calculate the number of people who need glasses to correct their vision.
