My report:

The table shows how the monthly expenditure of a typical Australian family changed in 1991 and 2001.
The units are measured in Australian dollars.

Overall, the total expenditure increased noticeably within a decade. In terms of individual items,
spending on food, electricity & water, housing, and other goods and services grew, whereas the opposite
is true for clothing and transport expenses.

In 1991, an average family in Australia spent $675 a month in total. However, this number increased by
$40 within a decade.

Food was the most significant expense in Australian families in both years on the table. They spent $155
in 1991 and $160 in 2001 on food on average. Another costly item was housing, to which an average
Australian household allocated around $100 in both years. However, the most considerable increase in
expense was seen in electricity and water, where the figure grew from $75 to $120 in a decade.
Moreover, $250 was spent on non-essential goods and services. And, this figure had inclined to $270 by
2001.

As for the other two items on the list, they saw a decrease in their expense. In 1991, $30 was spent on
clothing, and it declined by $10 in 2001. However, the decline was much more considerable in the
transport expenditure, from $70 to $45.
