The given table compares the average yearly expenditure of university students on 
accommodation, food, books, leisure and other miscellaneous things in three countries. It is 
manifest from the graph that the least spending ($1500) was done annually by students of 
country C, whereas students of country A and B spent three times more than students of 
country C. 
Students of country A spent $5000 annually, out of which a major chunk (45%) went on 
accommodation. Food and leisure was given equal importance and 22% was spent on each 
of these things. Other miscellaneous expenses accounted for 8%, and the least (3%) was 
spent on books. 
The spending pattern of country B was almost similar, except that these students spent 9% 
on books, which was three times more than the expenditure done by students of country A 
on books. Country C spent $1500 per year, out of which more than a third (36%) went on 
food. 30% was spent on accommodation, and slightly over a fifth of their budget was taken 
away by books. These students gave much less priority to leisure, spending only 12% on it. 
The least (1%) was spent on other things.
Overall, it is interesting to note that although students of country C spent much lesser than 
students of country A and B, they gave more priority to books and food.
