How To Create Pie Chart from Pop-Up Data?

Hello - I have a fairly simple spreadsheet for tracking household bills - screenshot of the type of thing I'm doing attached.


What I would love to do is create a pie chart or graph of the 'Type' column (which is a pop up menu) which utilises the figures from the 'Cost' column... So I can quickly see that x% of costs have been Food and x% of costs have been Travel etc! Any help would be appreciated!

first re-organise the data into a spreadsheet (I used the Numbers application) to show the "type" as a column heading with the costs listed below

use the sum formula to calculate the totals for each column:
