Answer:

268 students are absent

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply 775 by (8/25) to get the number of students out from the virus (probably weren't wearing masks or 6 ft apart from each other). This gives you 248 students. You also know that an additional 20 students are out due to other reasons. Add 248 and 20 and you get a total of 268 absent students.
