First I would convert the .85 into an 85%

Now you have 85% like math and 15% like science.

Since there are 60 students, you then take .8560=51 students who prefer math and .1560=9 students who prefer science. 

Then you take math (51) minus science (9) 

51-9=42 more students prefer math over science

Answer:

51-9=42 more students prefer math over science
