Explanation

Total students in 2014 = 420 + 290 + 340 + 480 + 480 = 2010. Students in college C = 340. Percentage = (340 / 2010) * 100 = 16.915...% which is 16.9%.

AI explanation

The total number of students enrolled in 2014 is the sum of students in all five colleges, which is 420 plus 290 plus 340 plus 480 plus 480, equaling 2010. The number of students enrolled in college C in 2014 is 340. To find the percentage, we calculate (340 divided by 2010) multiplied by 100, which equals 16.91 percent. Rounding this to one decimal place gives 16.9 percent.
