A pie graph is useful for showing percentages. It is great for showing percentages in a survey.
You cannot convert percentages to pounds. Percentages are comparisons of two related quantities so you can have one lot of pounds as a percentage of another lot, but not by itself. Otherwise you would be able to convert 25% of an inch into a pound!
Relative data refers to information that is measured or assessed in relation to other data points rather than in absolute terms. It often provides context, allowing for comparisons, trends, or insights to be drawn, such as percentages, ratios, or rankings. This type of data is useful in understanding how one set of information performs relative to another, facilitating better decision-making and analysis.

Using percentages allows for a clearer understanding of proportions and comparisons across different datasets, making it easier to interpret and communicate information. However, percentages can sometimes be misleading, especially when the underlying data is small or not representative, leading to distorted perceptions. Additionally, relying solely on percentages may obscure important details about absolute values or context. Balancing percentage use with contextual data can enhance clarity and accuracy.
