Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pie chart would be the best way to show the percentage of book purchases for each of the five bookstores on College Road. The slices of the pie would represent the share of purchases for each store, with the whole pie representing 100% of purchases across all five stores. This would provide a clear visual representation of each store's share in relation to the others. A scatter diagram, time-series graph, or independent graph would not be applicable in this scenario as they are better suited to showing different types of data.
