Answer 1

     Percentage of students and percentage of teachers who preferred to go to aquarium were 20% and 50% respectively.

  Information given in the question,

• Total number of students in the school = 40
• Number of students who preferred to go to aquarium = 8
• Number of students who preferred to visit amusement park = 32
• Total number of teachers in the school = 10
• Number of teachers who preferred to go to aquarium = 5
• Number of teachers who preferred to go to amusement park = 5

Percentage of students who preferred to go to the aquarium

= $\frac{\text{Number of students who preferred to go to aquarium}}{\text{Total number of students}}\times 100$

= $\frac{8\times 100}{40}$

= 20%

Similarly, percentage of teachers who preferred to go to the aquarium

= $\frac{5\times 100}{10}$

= 50%

    Therefore, percentage of students and percentage of teachers who preferred to go to aquarium were 20% and 50% respectively.
