The table below shows information about three different types of restaurants.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The table data gives information on the average cost of lunch and dinner in three types of restaurants and also reveals the average time people spend on these restaurants. Overall, sit-down restaurants are more expensive and people spend more time on sit-down restaurants than they do in cafeterias and fast food restaurants.
As can be seen from the given data, lunch cost $10 in a sit-down restaurant which is 3 dollars higher than the cost of lunch in a cafeteria. Finally, the cheapest lunch could be found in a fast food restaurant which costs 4.5 dollars. During the lunch, people spend 45 minutes in a sit-down restaurant while they stay 30 and 20 minutes respectively in a café and fast food shop. On the other hand, dinners are expensive than the lunch and people spend more time on a restaurant for having the dinner than they do during lunch.
Dinner costs $17 in a sit-down restaurant which is $7 higher than the cost of lunch in the same type of restaurant. People spend an hour to have their dinner. Similarly, dinner in a cafeteria costs $9.50 which is almost double than the cost of dinner in a fast food shop. People spend 45 minutes to have their dinner, on an average, when they dine in a cafeteria but take only 20 minutes when they have their dinners in a fast food shop.
