The bar chart compares the amount of money spent on fast foods by different income groups in Brittan. It is clear from chart that people who have high income in the UK tend to spend considerably high amount of money on instance foods than people in other income groups. This tendency is more obvious when consider the amount of money allocated to buy hamburgers and pizzas by these people. In fact, approximately 40 and 20 pence per week are spent by each person in high income group to buy hamburgers and pizzas respectively, and these are the highest amount of money spent on such food items. People in average income group also spend high amount of money to buy hamburgers. But it is not as high as the figure of high income group. As far as the amount of money spent on fish and chips is considered, each person in average income group spends the highest amount of 17 pence per week on this food item.

Typically, people in low income group spend the lowest amount of money on fast foods. An average person in this group only spends weekly about 17, 15 and 10 to buy fish and chips, hamburgers and pizza respectively.
