A university has 28,000 students living in 11,000 on-campus and off-campus households. Campus survey data show about 25% of students report food insecurity. If each household contains on average 1.8 students, estimate how many households likely include at least one food-insecure student, and show your work.

• C. Approximately 3,889 households.
• D. Approximately 1,944 households assuming two students per household average, which contradicts the stated 1.8 average.
