$But in the context, likely a typo or I need to proceed with exact fraction.$

But 0.75 = 3/4, and 78 not divisible by 4 → so impossible.
Unless the problem expects 58.5, but that’s not possible.
Wait — perhaps I made a mistake: 1/4 are absent — so present = 3/4, but maybe the question allows symbolic.
But all previous examples use integers.
Alternative approach: perhaps 35% is of whole number, so 42, and 78 girls, and 1/4 absent → 19.5 → but since students, maybe 20 absent? But not exact.
But in math problems, sometimes they use values that work.
