To calculate the percentage of people who prefer cashew nuts, add the number of people who prefer cashew nuts in Sample 1 and Sample 2, which is 63 + 61 = 124. Then divide this total by the total number of people in both samples (200 + 200 = 400) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage: (124/400) * 100 = 31.5%.
