amount is to be conceptualized with the chart...


Explanation:
Hello,

To me, it means "to be conceptualized."

à mettre en perspective de = is to be conceptualized with the chart

In other words, when you look at the this specific area on the chart, you can put the amount in perspective, or "conceptualize" it (understand it better).

I hope this helps.

amount is to be conceptualized by looking at the chart/with the aid of the chart

The amount is to be put into perspective by looking at
