You and your friend go trick or treating around your neighborhood. When you get home, you both trip and accidentally spill both of your candy bags into one pile. You decide to count the candy and together you have 100 pieces. There were 28 snickers bars, 10 pieces of gum, 22 chocolate bars, 12 lollipops, 15 twix and 13 peanut butter cups. Create a graph to compare the types of candy you got. Name the type of graph you used, and explain why you choose that one. Then describe the steps you took to create that graph.
