The diagram compares how much money was spent on six
different products in Germany, Italy, France and Britain.
Overall, more money was spent on toys and photographic
film than on any other product. Also, the British were the
biggest spenders in all six categories among the nations
compared in the bar chart, while German consumers
generally had the lowest figures.
In Britain, the highest amount of money was spent on
photographic film (more than 170 million pounds), while
similar amounts were spent on personal stereos and tennis
racquets which together ranked last.
The French spent the second highest amount of money
among the four nations on compact disks, toys and
photographic film, while they ranked last in personal
stereos, tennis racquets and colognes.
Italian consumers spent more money on toys than on any
other product (a bit less than £160 million), but they also
paid a lot for photographic film.
Finally, Germans spent the least overall, having similar
spending figures for all 6 products compared in the chart.
