The column graph compares the expenditure on three categories _ Food and drink, Restaurant and Hotel, and Entertainment – among different age groups of residents in the United Kingdom in 2004. It is clear that the Food and drink category tended to increase with age, while other categories showed fluctuation in different age groups.
Examining categories spending in more details, it is evident that the fifth age group, about people who are over than 76, allocated the highest percentage of their budget to the Food and drink category, which is just a fifth of their total spending, while people under the age of 30, allocated just more than 5% of their budget to it.
Moving on to other categories, Restaurant and Hotel had the highest percentage of total expenditure in the first group, people who are under 30. Also we can see that people between 61 to 75, allocated the lowest amount of their budget in this category, which is a very small number.
And the remaining one, the chart shows that the Entertainment was more appealing among people between 61 to 75, which is equal to the use of the Food and drink by people over 76.
To sum up, the Food and drink category had a slight growth with increasing age, while Restaurant and Hotel, and Entertainment categories showed a minimal fluctuation between people under 30 to 60, then they had experienced a significant change by people between 61 to 75.
