Question 2 • Financial Math

From the options listed, which is the most effective way to visually represent the monthly electricity expenses expected for Daniel over a year, allowing for easy comparison between months?

Answer
A
A scatter plot with months on the x-axis and expenses on the y-axis.
B
A pie chart showing the percentage of annual expenses for each month.
C
A table listing each month with its corresponding expense.
D
A bar graph with months on the x-axis and expenses on the y-axis.

Explanation

A bar graph is effective for comparing electricity expenses across separate categories—in this case, the months of the year. With months on the x-axis and expenses on the y-axis, the bar heights make it easy to see which months cost more or less. A table lists the values but is less visual, while a pie chart emphasizes parts of the annual total rather than month-to-month comparisons.
