Sample 1:

The bar graph compares the spending patterns of five age cohorts on different products and services in the UK in 2004. Overall, there was a general trend of increasing expenditure on food and beverages with age. Additionally, while the proportion of total spending on dining and hotel accommodation dipped in the 61-75 age group, this bracket allocated the highest share on leisure activities.

Regarding food and drink, the over 76-year-olds ranked 1st as roughly 23% of their spending was allotted to this category. This was followed by the 61-75, 46-60 and 31-45 age groups at precisely 20%, approximately 17% and 13%, respectively.

Concerning eateries and hotels, the youngest cohort of under 30 spent the highest share at nearly 15%, which was minimally greater than comparable figures for the 31-45 and 46-60 age brackets, at around 13%. The oldest people expended about 7% whereas residents aged 61-75 had the lowest rate at below 3%.

Turning to recreation, residents aged 61-75 spent the most, at over 23%. Furthermore, citizens under 30 and 31-45 years old shared an equivalent proportion of approximately 7%, which was about half the budget of the 46-60 and over 76 age groups.

Sample 2:

The bar chart depicts the expenditures in three categories by age group for UK residents in 2004.

Overall, as the age increases, food, drink, and entertainment expenditure gradually rose. However, while food and drink kept climbing with age, entertainment spending peaked for the 61-75 age group before declining for the age 76+.

Regarding food and drink, the figure started at only over 5% for the age group under 30 and consistently increased with age. Ultimately, this category reached its highest percentage for the 76+ group, at roughly 23%. As for entertainment expenditure, its figure grew similarly with age, from around 6% (age group 30) to approximately 23% (age group 61-75). Despite this, entertainment suddenly dropped by 10% for the 76+ group.

Turning to restaurant and hotel expenditure, the age group under 30 had the most significant proportion (almost 15%) out of the three categories. As the age increases, the figure declined slightly to 12% (aged 46-60) before plummeting to only 2% (aged 61-75). For the oldest age group, restaurant and hotel bounced back to roughly 6%, but the category was still the lowest.

Sample 3:

The bar chart gives information about how people in five different age groups in the UK spent their budgets on three different categories in 2004.

Overall, people allocated a greater percentage of their budgets to food and drinks and entertainment as they aged, while the opposite was the case for restaurants and hotels.

Looking first at spending on food and drinks, people under 30 spent the least on it, allocating only 6% of their budgets to this category, and spending on it steadily rose through the age groups, with the oldest group, aged over 76, spending 23% of their money on it.

Restaurants and hotels made up the largest share of the youngest group’s budget, at 13%. The 31-45 and 46-60 age brackets allocated similar proportions to dining out and staying in hotels, both at around 12%. By contrast, 61-to-75-year-olds spent just 2% on doing so, around a quarter of the figure for those over 76.

Spending for entertainment purposes rises with age, except for the oldest group, as spending rose from 7% by the under 30s to 23% spent by the 61-75 age group. However, people over 76 spent much less, at only 13% of their total budget.

Sample 4:

The bar chart illustrates the distribution of expenditures across various categories in the United Kingdom in 2004.

Overall, the elderly population allocated the majority of their budget to food, drink, and leisure activities, while younger individuals prioritized dining out and socializing.

However, they spent the least on leisure activities, with just under 7%. In contrast, individuals under 30 prioritized hotels and restaurants, allocating just under 15% of their budget. This figure was double that of their expenditure on food and drink and entertainment, which accounted for just over 5%.

Sample 5:

The bar chart delineates the percentage of expenditure distribution for different categories in the United Kingdom in 2004.

Overall, seniors spent most of their money on food and drink and leisure activities, while individuals under 30 paid significantly for dining and staying out.

People aged 46 to 60 and over 76 spent the most on food and drink, with approximately 17% and 23%, respectively.

Sample 10:

The given bar chart illustrates the percentage of money that people from five age brackets in the UK spent on three categories in 2004.

Overall, while people under 45 spent more on restaurants and hotels, the opposite is true for the three other age groups. Moreover, those older than 46 poured more money into food and drinks as well as entertainment.

As regards the youngest age group, they spent about 6% on eating and drinking, which was half of that of the 31-45 ones. It is obvious that restaurants and hotels and entertainment accounted for around 13% and 7% respectively of people under 45’s expenditure.

For the other groups, they spent the least on restaurants and hotels. In particular, the percentage of the 46-60-year-old citizens was around 12%, compared to 2% and 7% of that of the 61 to 75 and over 76 group respectively. Meanwhile, people from 61-75 years old spent about 24% of their money on entertainment, which was twice as high as that of two other groups. Moreover, the data for food and drinks of the three oldest age brackets were also relatively high with the respective figures at around 17%, 20% and 23%.

Sample 11:

The given bar chart illustrates how people of different age groups in the United Kingdom spent their money on three distinct categories in the year 2004.

Overall, the older the citizens were, the more they spent on Food and drink and Entertainment. It is also noticeable that senior citizens aged 61 and above expended the least on services in restaurants and hotels.

In terms of Food and drink, the over 76-year-olds ranked first among all age groups with the proportion of spending on this category being 23%, which was slightly higher than the figure for people who were 61 to 75 years old. This was followed by the 46-60 and 31-45 age groups, who put aside around 15% of their total spending on food and drink. However, people aged 30 and younger only allocated a marginal amount of 6% of the expenditure for the category.

Regarding the other two categories, while the youngest group spent the highest share on restaurants and hotels at almost 15%, people in the age range of 61 to 75 only paid little for this, at merely around 2%. In contrast, the latter expended the largest rate of spending on recreational activities, at well over 20%.

Sample 12:

The given column graph compares the amount of money spent by five age groups of the British citizens on three different items, in the year 2004. It is interesting to note that the spending on food and drinks was the least by the under 30s, and the highest by the above 76 age group.

It is noticeable that the largest proportion of spending went on food and drinks in most age groups, except for the under 30s and those between 61 and 75 years of age. Expenditure on restaurant and hotel was almost similar among all age groups below 60 years. They spent 12- 14% on this sector. The 61-75 and the 76+ age groups spent 2% and 7% respectively on restaurant and hotel. The under 45s spent less on entertainment than on restaurant and hotel, but the vice versa was true for all the other given age groups. The 61–75-year-olds, showed the highest discrepancy in their spending on these two areas. They spent 2% and 23% on restaurant and hotel, and entertainment respectively.

Overall, it is observed that as age advanced, the spending priorities of people changed. Older age groups spent more on food and drink and entertainment. However, the 76+ age group did not give much importance to entertainment.

Sample 13:

The provided bar chart illustrates the spending patterns across three distinct categories among UK residents in 2004, segmented by age groups.

In general, there is a noticeable upward trend in expenditures on food, drink, and entertainment as age advances. However, expenses on restaurants and hotels exhibited a declining trajectory.

Regarding food and drink expenditures, the percentage began at slightly over 5% for the under-30 age group and steadily rose with each older age bracket. Ultimately, this category reached its zenith for the 76+ age group, comprising approximately 23% of expenditures. In contrast, entertainment spending exhibited a similar trajectory, increasing from roughly 6% (age group 30) to approximately 23% (age group 61-75). Nevertheless, there was a sudden 10% drop in entertainment spending within the 76+ age group.

Turning to expenses on restaurants and hotels, the under-30 age group allocated the largest proportion, nearly 15%, among the three categories. However, as age increased, this figure witnessed a gradual decline, reaching 12% for the 46-60 age group before plummeting to a mere 2% for the 61-75 age group. Among the oldest age group (76+), expenditure on restaurants and hotels experienced a slight rebound, reaching approximately 6%, yet it remained the lowest proportion among the categories.

Sample 14:

The bar chart illustrates the expenses on three types of daily consumption by various age groups in the UK during the year 2004.

Overall, different age groups presented distinct daily consumption habits. While residents under 30 years old spent most on restaurant and hotel, the 60-75 age group on entertainment; other groups, however, tended to allocate the majority of their expenses to food and drink.

Regarding the spending related to food and drink, the percentage generally rose as age increased, starting from approximately 5% for those under 30 to nearly a quarter for individuals over 75.

A similar pattern emerged in the cost of entertainment, where the proportion also grew with age, from 5% to the peak at 23% for the 60-75 group and dropped to 13% for the 75+ group.

Conversely, it is noticeable that the older people were, the less they spent on restaurant and hotel. The expenditure reached the highest point at nearly 15% for the youngest, remained relatively constant at 12% for the 30-75 years old, and dropped to 7% for those over 75.
