here are the results:
creative stem total
grade 7 10 14 24
grade 8 12 14 28

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate percentage for Grade 7

For Grade 7, total students = 24.
Percentage for Creative: $\frac{10}{24}\times100\approx41.67\%$
Percentage for STEM: $\frac{14}{24}\times100\approx58.33\%$

Step2: Calculate percentage for Grade 8

For Grade 8, total students = 28.
Percentage for Creative: $\frac{12}{28}\times100\approx42.86\%$
Percentage for STEM: $\frac{14}{28}\times100 = 50\%$

Answer:

Grade 7 shows a stronger interest in STEM clubs. In Grade 7, about 58.33% of students are interested in STEM, while in Grade 8, 50% are interested in STEM. Also, Grade 8 has a slightly higher percentage (42.86%) interested in Creative compared to Grade 7 (41.67%). So Grade 7 has a relatively stronger preference for STEM.
