The table presented illustrates the proportions of various expenses incurred by college students from three different countries.
Overall, Country A had the highest expenditures on accommodation and additional expenses, while Country B spent just slightly less than Country A and allocated more funds to leisure activities. In contrast, Country C spent very little in each category, except for food.
Specifically, in the accommodation category, all three countries had significant expenses, but Country A’s spending was 15% higher than Country B and 30% higher than Country C. In terms of food, which was the second highest category of spending, Country C spent 8% and 14% more than Country B and Country A, respectively. When it comes to leisure activities, Countries A and B had nearly equal shares, although Country B spent slightly more, accounting for 23%.
It is clear that in total spending, Countries A and B were quite competitive, with Country A spending an additional $500 compared to Country B. Conversely, Country C spent $1500 less than the others, making it the lowest spender. However, Country C did allocate the most funds to books and food, while Countries A and B had minimal spending in these categories. In the ‘Others’ category, Country A again spent 4% more than Country B, while Country C finished with 1%.
