When we look for information to help us
make important decisions, we often find the
information in the form of graphs. A lot of
newspapers regularly use graphs to help readers to
compare amounts or see trends. One of these
graphs is the pie graph.
Pie graphs are used to show percentage of a
quantity in each of the several categories. It can
also be used to easily visualize the ratio of one
category to another
