The percentage of eighth-graders that chose History as their favorite subject is 19%
<h3>Percentages and proportion</h3>
From the given table, we have the following parameters
Total students in the 8th grade = 124 students
Total number of 8th graders that chose history = 11 + 12
Total number of 8th graders that chose history = 23
Required percentage = 23/124 * 100
Required percentage = 19%
Hence the percentage of eighth-graders that chose History as their favorite subject is 19%
