Charts tell a story, but you must read them carefully.
- Step 1: Read the title: what is this about?
- Step 2: Read the labels and numbers.
- Step 3: Find the exact part the question asks about.
- Step 4: Do the math if needed (more, less, total).
Tip: Put your finger on the bar or row the question is about.
