Explanation:

Step1: Calculate percentage for Grade 7 Creative

Use the formula $\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Number of students in category}}{\text{Total number of students in grade}}\times100$. For Grade 7 Creative: $\frac{10}{24}\times100\approx41.67\%$

Step2: Calculate percentage for Grade 7 STEM

Using the same formula. For Grade 7 STEM: $\frac{14}{24}\times100\approx58.33\%$

Step3: Calculate percentage for Grade 8 Creative

For Grade 8 Creative: $\frac{12}{26}\times100\approx46.15\%$

Step4: Calculate percentage for Grade 8 STEM

For Grade 8 STEM: $\frac{14}{26}\times100\approx53.85\%$

Answer:

• Grade 7: Approximately $41.67\%$ prefer Creative clubs and approximately $58.33\%$ prefer STEM clubs.
• Grade 8: Approximately $46.15\%$ prefer Creative clubs and approximately $53.85\%$ prefer STEM clubs.
