Explanation

Placed students: A = 35% of 960 = 336. B = 30% of 1080 = 324. C = 24% of 1450 = 348. Average = (336 + 324 + 348) / 3 = 1008 / 3 = 336.

AI explanation

First, calculate the number of placed students from each college by multiplying the total students by the placement percentage. For college A, 35 percent of 960 is 336; for college B, 30 percent of 1080 is 324; and for college C, 24 percent of 1450 is 348. The total number of placed students from these three colleges is 336 + 324 + 348, which equals 1008. Dividing this total by 3 gives an average of 336 students.
