All this question is trying to ask is to find 78% percent of the total number of student in the class.

So first convert 78 to decimal by dividing it by 100: [tex]\frac{78}{100} = 0.78[/tex]

Next multiply that with the total number of students which is 35.

So, [tex]0.78 * 35 = 27.3[/tex]

Now I don't think there can be a decimal here. The question must be wrong or the percentage might be incorrect. But, just for sake, we'll round it up so the final answer would be: [tex]27[/tex]

The proportion would be: [tex]273:10[/tex]
