The illustration demonstrates the expenditure per month counted in dollars of an American family on three distinct things in the year 2010 from January to April.
Overall, it is observable that the spending on clothing purchasement was the highest in April, whereas the figure for food spending was the lowest one. Clearly, the average total amount of money reached a peak in the month March.
During January, the family spent nearly 500 dollars for their food supply, making it the most expensive item they paid for. The figures for gas and clothing reached more than 300 dollars and just above 200 dollars, respectively, while clothing expense was wasted the lowest amount of money. In February, the spending on food and clothing experienced roughly the same amount of money, at about under 600 dollars, whereas gas consumption had the family pay the lowest amount of money.
Next month, the spending on each item was relatively around 300 – over 400 dollars, reaching the highest point of the average expenditure of this family. In April, clothing observed its dramatic rise in the amount of spending, reaching approximately 700 dollars, an increase of about 500 compared to its figure in January. Gas spending also experienced the same trend as clothing, rising to just under 600 dollars. By contrast, the money spent for food supply was the lowest in the chart, at only more than 300 dollars.
