The charts give data about the average tablet computer prices in different stores, with the discount offered for them. Also, they show the selling trend after promotion, with money spent on TV advertising.

The stores including Slaker, Jones, Scots, and Fraser, with the roughly $300 middle price, were discounted 10% in each promotion. The stores with by far the highest prices, Lewis and Nova, have the highest discount: $460 with 20% and $565 with 25%. The least price is in the Smith store, with only a 5 percent discount when on promotion.

The group of stores with a 10% discount on promotion, like Stalker, Jones, Scots, and Fraser, have roughly the same percentage of increase in sales: from 11 to 14 percent. However, their funds spent on advertising were nearly $70,000 for each. The other group of stores saw the same trend: Lewis and Nova just above 20% with $18,000 and a bit less than 25% with $21,000 respectively, while Smith market has just about a 5% raise in sales without spending money on TV ads.

To summarize, the patterns of increase in volume sales reflected the average price with discount, meanwhile, money spent on advertising reversed.
