However, it is possible to explain the relationship between the graphs and the way the audience interprets the data.
Graphs are what their name mentions: a graphic representation of some information; in this case, the graph would show the relationship between the cost and the total amount of shirts. Due to the amount of numbers and prices, data can be a little difficult to understand. However, due to the flexibility of graphs (there are many types, such as bar graphs, pie charts, and Cartesian graphs, among others) it is easy to see and interpret this information more easily as long as the variables are explained or the title helps with this.
