Required

Determine the percentage of off-campus students

From the above table, we have that:

`Off-Campus = 182`

`Total\ Surveyed = 400`

The percentage is then calculated as follows;

`\%Off-Campus = (Off-Campus)/(Total-Surveyed) * 100\%`

`\%Off-Campus = (182)/(400) * 100\%`

`\%Off-Campus = 0.455 * 100\%`

`\%Off-Campus = 45.5\%`

Hence, option C answers the question
