To calculate the total percent recovery of the mixture, we need to calculate the total mass of the mixture and then divide the total mass of the recovered components by the total mass of the mixture.

Total mass of mixture = 3.27 g

Total mass of recovered components = 1.32 g KBr + 1.24 g AgCl + 0.62 g NiCO3 = 3.18 g

Total percent recovery = (Total mass of recovered components / Total mass of mixture) * 100
= (3.18 g / 3.27 g) * 100
= 97.26%

Therefore, the total percent recovery of the mixture is 97.26%.
