346 and 248 people voted for candidate A. 154 and 252 people voted for candidate B. What percentage of the total pulled residents would vote for candidate A
To find the percentage of total polled residents who voted for candidate A, add the number of people who voted for candidate A in both groups and divide by the total number of people polled, then multiply by 100 to get the percentage:
(346 + 248) / (346 + 248 + 154 + 252) * 100 = 594 / 1000 * 100 ≈ 59.4%
Approximately 59.4% of the total polled residents would vote for candidate A.
