Best Answer

The advantage is: You can see the data clearer and is easier to draw. It helps if you use numbers that have NOT got percentages in.

The disadvantage is: If you have no choice but to use a bar chart with percentages, you'll have a difficult time trying to do it. A Pie Chart is better to use.

I hope it helps. I'm only 12 years old.
