Sample 2: The Bar Chart Below Shows Shares of Expenditures for Five Major Categories
The given bar chart delineates information about the percentage of shares for food, housing, transportation, healthcare, and clothing in five distinct nations. The data has been calibrated in percentages.
Overall, it is evident that all countries spend the most money on accommodation, whereas the opposite could be seen in the case of health care.
To begin with, the inhabitants of the US spend the maximum amount on housing, which is 25%, followed by the UK, Japan, and Canada, whose figures are about 23%, 21%, and 20%, respectively. In contrast, the Japanese spend around 23% of their money on food, which is higher than that of other nationalities. UK residents spend one-fifth of their money on food, while it is less than 15% for the citizens of Canada and the US.
In regards to further information, Canadians spend one-fifth of their income on transportation, which is double that of Japan. Although healthcare costs, on the other hand, are not higher than 8% in all nations, they remain higher than those of clothing. Similarly, a slight difference of 2% is observed between the expenditure on clothing among five distinct nations.
