He wants to get a better idea of the number of rentals nationwide by vehicle type. The corporate accountant has forwarded Tom a worksheet containing rental data for last year.

Move the chart so the upper left corner is inside cell H12 and the lower right corner is in cell O26. |

Position the label information on the outside end of the chart. Change the font size of the labels to 8 and apply bold. Because data labels were added, remove the chart legend.
