Suggested answer

As we can see from the diagram, the vast majority of the surveyed consider the ability to shop 24/7 and lower prices as the top reasons to shop online (32% and 29% respectively). On the contrary, people show little interest in shopping because it is entertaining, with only 2% of those surveyed. Another feature worth to be mentioned is that the convenience in making purchases and saving time are ranked third and fourth with 21 % and 16% respectively.

According to the data in the table, shopping online in order to save time seems to be less popular than shopping online because of the ability to shop 24/7. The number of people who prefer doing the shopping at any time is twice as high as those wanting to save time.
