The graph below shows the number of appliances sold in an electronic store in Ghana from 1965 to 2000.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The chart illustrates how many appliances were sold in an electronic shop in Ghana between 1965 and 2000. Overall, the number of refrigerators was the highest throughout the period and had an upward trend by the end, as did the number of washing machines and televisions sold. In contrast, the unit sales of phones were relatively the same by the final year.
Refrigerator sales started with about 740 units in 1965, and despite a slight dip between 1970 and 1975 and another marginal drop between 1985 and 1990, it increased throughout the period to finish at around 990. Around 390 washing machines were purchased in 1965, and this rose to about 580 in 1975, after which it fluctuated between roughly 590 and 520 until it grew to approximately 660 in the final year.
Telephone sales started at around 400 before fluctuating between this figure and 300 until 1995 when a final increase brought it up to just over 400 in 2000. Meanwhile, television purchases, which were the lowest of all the appliances each year, started at about 50 after which they increased to slightly over 200 in 1990 and remained at this level until the end.
