We want to find out which type of trash makes up the biggest portion of all the trash collected on a beach.
To do this we want to look at the totals for each type of trash.
Here is a table of the data:

Metal |

Styrofoam |

Cloth |
Cig. |

Trying to understand exactly what this data means by looking at this table
can be difficult. This is where graphs can help. Graphs give
you a quick picture of the numbers.
