Representing Information in Different Ways

We can take the information from the tally chart and represent it differently in a bar chart.

Representing Information in Different Ways
Let’s have a look at this example.
Here we have a table showing data for cake sales in year 10. We can then extract (take) this data and represent (show) it in another format – in this case, as a bar chart.
Types of Cake | Number of Cakes Sold |
chocolate cake | 16 |
lemon sponge | 9 |
Victoria sponge | 14 |
carrot cake | 7 |
coffee cake | 3 |
banana cake | 13 |
