The bar chart compares the weekly expenditures of the British on three fast food items in 1990 while the line graph shows the consumption of these items from 1970 to 1990.
Overall, expenditures on fast foods varied depending on people’s income class. Moreover, ‘fish & chips’ was the most consumed item in the 70’s, but in later decades, consumption of hamburgers increased remarkably – exceeding the consumption of the other two items.
According to the bar graph, high-income class people spent more money on hamburgers (more than 40 Pence/person) than on fish & chips and pizza. Their spending was also higher than average and low-income class people on pizza. Besides, the average income group spent more on hamburgers but their spending on fish and chips (25 pence) was more than the other two income groups. Finally, the low-income class spent comparatively less on fast foods and fish & chips cost them the most (about 17 pence). They spent the least amount on purchasing pizza (around 7 pence/person).
Moreover, the line graph shows the consumption of these items by the British from 1970 to 1990. Initially, fish & chips consumption in Britain was highest (300 gm/ person) in 1970. This year, less than 80 gm of hamburgers and pizza were consumed by an average person. Over time, fish & chips consumption declined and hamburgers became the most consumed item in 1990 with 500 gm consumption per person.
