The line graph illustrates the sales of various appliances at an electronic store in Ghana—specifically refrigerators, washing machines, telephones, and televisions—over a period from 1965 to 2000.
All appliance sales in the electronic store increased, although at varying rates. Refrigerators led in sales, while televisions had the lowest sales rate over the 35 years from 1965 to 2000.
In 1965, the sales figures for refrigerators and washing machines were nearly 1,000 and 650, respectively. The sales of telephones fluctuated slightly, and overall, there was a general decline throughout the period. Washing machine sales were about 400 in 1995, surpassing telephones and reaching approximately 480 by the end of the period. Meanwhile, refrigerator sales experienced minor decreases, with two small growth spurts leading up to 2000.
Televisions consistently recorded the lowest sales among these four categories, starting at just over 200 units sold and dramatically declining to roughly 50 units by 2000. Telephones initially sold about 400 units at the beginning of the period, dropped by around 100 units in 1970, and eventually returned to nearly their original level by the end of the period.
