The given bar chart illustrates the money spent by adolescents aged 18 to 20 in a certain country on five different categories in two years, 2010 and 2014, while being measured in millions of dollars.
It is evident that spending on Food, Smartphones and Toiletries increased over the four years, while that of Clothes showed no change, and Books declined. Notably, Food remained at the highest in both years.
In 2010, young adults spent the most on food, accounting for almost 38 million dollars, followed by Clothes with precisely 25 million dollars. Moreover, 20 million dollars were spent on Smartphones while Toiletries and Books received the least increment in expenditures, with merely 8 million dollars and 10 million dollars, respectively.
By 2014, the figure for Food rose to approximately 44 million dollars, which helped it maintain first rank. Data on Smartphones and Toiletries also saw an increase of about 14 million dollars and 2 million dollars in that order. In contrast, the number for spending on Clothes was stagnant, remaining the same as in 2010. Not only that, but Books also dropped in expenses, which was halved to exactly 5 million dollars
