The picture provided a table that illustrates the median income in comparison to the proportion a middle-class British denizen family would have in 2010 and 2013. While the pie chart delved deeper into their expenditures on a variety of comestibles as well as garments in 2010.
Overall, the earnings of a family in the UK showed a marginal downward trend, which opposes that of their spendings on food and clothes. Specifically, food took up most of people’s spendings and dominated greatly over clothing in 2010.
Looking at the table more closely, one can see that the average income decreased minimally from 29,000 pounds in 2010 to 25,000 pounds three years later. Albeit this decline, their spendings on food and clothes slightly raised by 1,000 pounds, which went from taking up nearly half of the income to two-thirds of it. This suggested the downfall of the nation’s economy consequent in inflation, leading to greater outcomes compared to incomes.
On the other hand, as we analyze the percentage breakdown of their outcome, we could see that approximately one-third is to purchase meat and fish, a number that is closely followed by the amount spent on greens. Surprisingly, the mere half of its percentage would be equal to garments’, whereas the remaining proportion would be spent on dairy products and other food types.
