The line graph illustrates the amount of fast food consumed by teenagers in Australia 
between 1975 and 2000, a period of 25 years.
Overall, the consumption of fish and chips declined over the period, whereas the amount 
of pizza and hamburgers that were eaten increased.
In 1975, the most popular fast food with Australian teenagers was fish and chips, being 
eaten 100 times a year. This was far higher than Pizza and hamburgers, which were 
consumed approximately 5 times a year. However, apart from a brief rise again from 
1980 to 1985, the consumption of fish and chips gradually declined over the 25 year 
timescale to finish at just under 40 times per year.
In sharp contrast to this, teenagers ate the other two fast foods at much higher levels. 
Pizza consumption increased gradually until it overtook the consumption of fish and 
chips in 1990. It then leveled off from 1995 to 2000. The biggest rise was seen in 
hamburgers, increasing sharply throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s, exceeding fish and 
chips consumption in 1985. It finished at the same level that fish and chips began, with 
consumption at 100 times a year.

The pie chart shows the amount of money that a children's charity located 
in the USA spent and received in one year
 
 
 
 
 
The pie charts show the amount of revenue and expenditures over a year of a children’s 
charity in the USA. Overall, it can be seen that donated food accounted for the majority 
of the income, while program services accounted for the most expenditure. Total 
revenue sources just exceeded outgoings.
In detail, donated food provided most of the revenue for the charity, at 86%. Similarly, 
with regard to expenditures, one category, program services, accounted for nearly all 
of the outgoings, at 95.8%.
The other categories were much smaller. Community contributions, which were the 
second largest revenue source, brought in 10.4% of overall income, and this was 
followed by program revenue, at 2.2%. Investment income, government grants, and 
other income were very small sources of revenue, accounting for only 0.8% combined.
There were only two other expenditure items, fundraising and management and general, 
accounting for 2.6% and 1.6% respectively. The total amount of income was
$53,561,580, which was just enough to cover the expenditures of $53,224,896.
