Also, try to account for everything that is at the mall. From the total number of shops and businesses in the mall, calculate the percentage of total businesses in each category. Create a bar chart or circle graph that represents the number and percentage of businesses in each category. Analyze your data and graphs, and write a statement that describes the number of shops and businesses in the mall. Another way to look at what makes up the mall is to consider the area that each of the different categories account for in the mall.
Many malls have maps that offer a scale drawing of the mall.
Take some measurements and calculate what scale was used to make the drawing. Using the list of shops and categories developed in Question 2 and your scale drawing, calculate the amount and percentage of mall floor space accounted for by each category. Create a bar chart or circle graph that represents the amount and percentage of floor space for each category. Analyze your data and graphs, and write a statement that describes how floor space is used in the mall.
