To calculate the percentage of residents who would vote for Candidate A as the town mayor, we add the number of votes for Candidate A in each sample and then divide by the total number of residents polled.
Sample 1: Candidate A received 346 votes
Sample 2: Candidate A received 248 votes
Total number of votes for Candidate A = 346 + 248 = 594
Total number of residents polled = 500 + 500 = 1000
Percentage of residents who would vote for Candidate A = (594/1000) * 100 = 59.4%
Therefore, 59.4% of the total polled residents would vote for Candidate A as the town mayor.
