    3 students

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If everyone in the class has either a pierced nose or ear, we just simply have to add up the total number of hands raised and minus the number of students in the class.

    35+8=43

    43-40=3

    3 students have both a pierced nose and pierced ear.
