Some remarkable changes in the amount of money spent weekly on 4 dissimilar kinds of fast food by
households in the UK in 1990,2000 and 2010 are depicted in the given table.

Overall, all of the surveyed figures varied considerably with the exception of pasta which remained
unchanged over the period of time
In greater detail, pasta was the most expensed kind of fast food in 1990 with 45 dollars per week, and
was exactly triple that of hamburger at that time. Over the next 20 years, although the former witnessed
a slight drop to 40 dollars in 2000, it then recovered by 5 dollars in 2010. Meanwhile, the latter
experienced a moderate increase to 25 dollars in 2000, and it then decreased dramatically to 7 dollars in
2010.

As far as the others are concerned, 25 dollars was paid for pizza each week in 1990, compared to 20
dollars expensed for fried chicken in the same year. 20 years later, despite a progressive climb to 35
dollars the figure of pizza declined sharply to 18 dollars. In the meantime, after a sudden fall to 10
dollars in 2000, the figure of fried chicken grew significantly to 30 dollars in 2010.
