The three pie charts below show how the changes in annual spending by a
particular UK schools in 1981, 1991, and 2001.
Expenditure on insurance stood at only 2% of the total in 1981, but reached 8% in 2001.
Table
Overall, the most populous nation is China, but this country has the lowest
GDP per person, while the US has the highest economic output per capita, but
the lowest life expectancy.
As can be seen from the table, China has a total population of over 1.3 billion,
followed by the US with the figure being significantly lower, at nearly 319
million. The population in the UK is the lowest, at only around 65 million, half
the figure of Russia. In terms of GDP per capita, the US has the largest
number, at nearly $54,000, while the lowest figure is recorded in China, just
about $6,800. GDP per person in the UK is approximately $41,800, almost
double that of Russia.
In 2010, 11.8 million passenger vehicles were registered, while the figure for
commercial ones was significantly lower at only 2.3 million. Over the following
four years, the number of passenger vehicles rose by 10.2% to 13 million,
whereas there were 0.4 million more commercial vehicles registered, a rise of
17.4%.
Turning to the remaining types of vehicles, the greatest increase was recorded
for motorcycles, which grew from 540,000 registered in 2010 to 709,000 in
2014, an increase of 30.8%. During the same period, the numbers of heavy
trucks and light trucks registered also rose, by 8.3% and 23.5%, respectively.

Mixed chart
The chart below shows the results of a survey of people who visited four types of tourist attraction in Britain in
the year 1999.
The graph and table below give information about water use worldwide and water consumption in two
different countries.
Domestic use = homes
Overview:
global water needs rose significantly and that agriculture accounted for the largest proportion of water used
Body:
In 1900, around 500km3 of water was used by the agriculture sector worldwide. The figures for industrial and
domestic water consumption stood at around one fifth of that amount.
Water consumption per person in Brazil, at 359m3, was much higher than that in the Congo, at only 8m3, and
this could be explained by the fact that Brazil had 265 times more irrigated land.
