Answer 1

Here is the data:

Item	Expense
Gasoline	603
Car Loan Interest	279
Repairs	930
Insurance and License	646
Depreciation	492

The appropriate graph would be:-

1. Bar Graph

2. Pie Chart

You can use either.

As seen from the above chart, the most expense on the operation of an automobile is the money spent on Repairs. Then the secondary most expensive part of owing a car is the money spent on insurance and license. Then obviously gasoline is a major expense of driving a car. The least expensive is the interest on the car but since it is spread out for many years, it figures that would be less expensive.
