The table and charts below give information on the police budget for 2017 and 2018 in one

area
of Britain. The table shows where the money came from and the charts show how it was
distributed.
The table illustrates how a police force in a British region was
nanced between 2017 and 2018; while the pie charts depict
the distribution of those funds during the same period.
Overall, the police received the most funding from the
government in both years; meanwhile, police of cer and staff
wages, albeit the highest in both years, decreased.

Starting with funding, in 2017 the total funds received was

£304.7 million. Over half of which was from the national
government, at £175.5 million while the remaining came from
local taxes and other sources, with £91.2 million and £38
million respectively. By 2018, the total budget had grown to
£318.6 million. Speci cally, the amount from the national
government rose slightly to £177.8 million and local taxes
contributed £102.3 million. The gure for other sources
increased marginally to £38.5 million.

Turning to the expenditure, salaries for of cers and staff were the highest in both years, with
75% in 2017 and it fell to 69% in 2018. Technology received 8% initially but the proportion almost
doubled to 14% in 2018. Buildings and transport had the same proportion of 17% in each year.

 Structured by opens and closes

The line graph illustrates how many stores

ceased trading and opened in a particular
nation from 2011 to 2018. Overall, the
number of closures and openings
experienced a downward trend during the
period with signi cant uctuations resulting
in the lead changing several times.

Starting with closures, in 2011 they were

lower than opens with approximately 6,500,
then they subsequently decreased to 6,000
in 2012, despite this, closures became
higher. The gure reached a peak of over 7,000 in 2013 and fell to around 6,600 in 2014. It then
plummeted to just under 1,000 in 2015, returning to the lowest position but it subsequently
soared back to the lead, reaching 5,000 by 2016, it remained steady to reach just over 5,000 by
2018.

Moving onto new stores, the gure was higher than opens in 2013 with about 8,500 and it fell to
just under 4,000 in 2012. There was a slight rise in 2013 and 2014 to 5,000 and just over 6,000,
respectively and then the gure fell back to around 4,000 for the next three years before ending
up as the lower of the two categories with 3,000 in 2018.

 The graphs below show the number of
tourists visiting a particular Caribbean
island between 2010 and 2017.
The line graph shows visits to an island in the
Caribbean, by holidaymakers, from 2010 to
2017. Overall the total visitors increased and this
trend was mirrored by both the number of visitors
staying on the island and on cruise liners.

Total visits started at 1 million in 2010, and then

increased throughout the period, except for a
brief plateau at about 2.7 million throughout
2015. A sharp increase in the nal year saw
visitors rise to 3.5 million.

Tourists staying on the island were about 750 thousand in 2010; then, during the next three
years, this doubled. The number plateaued from 2013 to 2015 at 1.5 million, and then uctuated
at this level over the nal two years.

Vacationers on cruise liners started the period at 250 thousand, after uctuating for two years the
number rose continually to reach approximately 1.3 million by 2015. Then, in 2015, the number
surpassed those staying on the island and nished at 2 million by 2017.

 The bar chart illustrates a nation’s exports,
by category, in 2015 and 2016; and the table
gives the changes and exports for each
category, on a percentage basis during the
same period. Overall, all categories
increased except for precious stones and
jewellery.

The top two exports, which were oil-based

goods and engineered products, had similar
sales volumes. Petroleum products
increased slightly by 3% from $60 billion in
2015 to about $62 billion in 2016.
Engineered goods increased at a faster rate
of 8.5% from roughly $58 billion in 2015 to
approximately $61 billion in 2016.

The other three categories had much lower export values. Gems and jewellery recorded the only
decline in sales of about $42 billion in 2015 declining by about 5 per cent in 2016. Farming
products were $30 billion in 2015 and had only a slight increase of .81%. The greatest increase,
of over 15%, was for textiles, which increased from approximately $25 billion to over $30 billion.
 The chart below shows the percentage of
households in owned and rented accommodation in
England and Wales between 1918 and 2011

The bar chart illustrates the proportion of households

who lived in their own or rented accommodation in
England and Wales from 1918 to 2011. Overall, these
countries saw a rise in home ownership but experienced
a decrease in rentals.

From 1918 to 1971, there was a higher percentage in

rented accommodation than those in owned
accommodation until 1971 both gures were equal. In
1918, almost 80% of households were in rented houses
while less than 10% owned their places. However, rentals decreased from over 80% to
approximately 60% between 1918 and 1961 while there was an increase in owned residential
properties from 20% to 40% during the same period of time.

In the next 40 years, the gure for those in owned accommodation outnumbered those in rented
accommodation, increasing by 10% to 60% in 1981 and reaching a peak at about 70% in 2001
before dropping to around 65% in 2011. On the other hand, the percentage of those in rented
accommodation decreased gradually from 50% in 1981 to its lowest point at 30% in 2001 before
rising to around 35% in 2011.

 The graph below shows the quantities of
goods transported in the UK between 1974
and 2002 by four different modes of
transport.
The line graph provides information about how
cargo was conveyed by four types of
transportation, in the United Kingdom, from
1974 to 2002. Overall, goods sent by all forms
of delivery increased except for railways, which
uctuated.

Starting with the road and pipeline, the most

cargo was moved by road in 1974, with roughly
70 million tonnes and it gradually increased to about 80 million tonnes over the next 20 years. It
increased dramatically to nish at just below 100 tonnes by 2002. In contrast, with only about 7
million in 1974, pipeline was the lowest and it increased to roughly 22 million by 1994. It
remained at this gure until the end of the period.

Goods conveyed by water and rail were each about 40 million tonnes in 1974. After 1978,
shipping surpassed rail reaching roughly 58 million tonnes by 1982 and then it plateaued for the
next twenty years. During the same period rail freight decreased to approximately 25 million
tonnes. By 2002, the tonnage transported by boat increased to 60 million, and railways rose to
just over 40 million.

 The graph was published in 2010 and
shows energy use by different types of
fuel in Australia.
The line graph displays energy consumption
in Australia from 1980 to 2030, by ve
different energy sources. Overall, in the
past, there was an upward trend for all types
of energy except natural gas, and all forms
are predicted to increase by 2030.

Oil is the highest source of energy. In 1980,

roughly 35 billion units of oil were used and
this increased to around 38 billion units by 2010. Projections show the usage will hit about 48
billion by 2030.

Coal and natural gas generate the next highest amounts of energy. Coal starts the graph lower
at roughly 16 billion units and gas at 20 billion units. In 2000, both of these sources were around
20 billion and then coal started overtaking gas. By 2030 coal and gas are expected to climb to
end at approximately 32 billion and 25 billion units, respectively.

Nuclear and solar energy were both stable at about 4 billion units from 1980 to 2010. They are
predicted to have a marginal increase in their units of consumption, reaching 8 billion and 6
billion units, respectively, in 2030.

 The table displays the average
weekly revenue of a small
inner-city restaurant. Overall,
dinner sales are always
greater than lunch sales and
weekdays have higher sales
than weekends.

Looking rst at the lunch sales, Mondays and Tuesdays are almost the same with sales of
$2,400 and $2450, respectively. Sales peak on Wednesdays at $2,595, reduce to $2,375 on
Thursdays and then rise to $2,500 on Fridays. Weekend sales are the lowest, with $1,950 on
Saturday and then a further decline to $1,550 on Sunday.

Turning to revenue in the evening, it is higher than lunchtimes every day. Monday’s sales are
$3,623 and then they rise to $3,850 on Tuesday. Following this, sales dip to $3,445 on
Wednesday, before rising again to $3,800 on Thursday, and then peaking at $4,350 on Friday.
As with lunch sales, the revenue declines signi cantly during the weekend to $2,900 on
Saturday, and subsequently further to the lowest level of the week at $2,450 on Sunday.

 The charts below give information on the ages of
populations of Yemen and Italy in 2000 and
projections for 2050.

The four pie charts give the proportions of three different

age groups in 2000, and a forecast for 2050 in Yemen
and Italy. Overall, Italy had an older population than
Yemen in 2000, and both populations are predicted to
age in the future.

In 2000, in Yemen, over half the population was aged

0-14, and 46.3% of the population was aged from 15 to
59. The smallest proportion was the over 60s, who
accounted for just 3.6% of the population. Turning to Italians, the highest percentage was 15-59
year olds. Those over 60 were 24.1% of the population, which was more than six times higher
than it was in Yemen. The smallest percentage was for the youngest group at 14.35%.

Turning to the forecast for 2050, in Yemen, the largest group is expected to be those aged 15-59
at 57.3%. This is followed by forecasts for the youngest group at 37%, and the oldest group at
5.8%. For Italians, the highest percentage is for those aged 15-59 years at 46.2%. This is
followed by the over 60s at 42.3%, which is almost double the level in 2000. The youngest group
accounts for only 11.5% of the population.
