The two pie charts compare the percentages of online sales across different

retail

sectors in New Zealand in the years 2003 and 2013. For three of the sectors,
it is evident

that over this time frame there was significant change in their proportion of
online

transactions.

At 36% we can see that the travel sector accounted for the majority of online
sales in

2003, but this percentage had dropped to 29% by 2013. Across the same
ten-year

period, as an increasing number of people chose to purchase films and music


online. we

can see that transactions went from just 21% to 33%, making it the retail
sector with the

highest overall share of the online market.

In 2003, the clothing industry boasted an impressive 24% of total online


sales in New

Zealand. However, by 2013, the figure had fallen considerably to 16%.


Interestingly,

online sales of books eventually overtook sales of clothes, although books


still

represented only 22% of the market.

The pie chart illustrates how an average adult in City Z allocates their time
during a typical 24-

hour period. The activities are categorized as sleep, work, leisure,


commuting, and other tasks.

Overall, the two largest portions of the day are devoted to sleep and work.
Leisure, commuting,
and other activities occupy smaller segments, with sleep accounting for the
biggest share.

The chart shows that 35% of the day is spent sleeping, which is the largest
portion. Work follows

closely at 30%, indicating that nearly two-thirds of daily time is dedicated to


these essential

activities.

Leisure activities take up 15% of the day, reflecting a modest but significant
amount of time

reserved for relaxation and personal interests. Commuting accounts for 10%,
suggesting that

travel to and from work or other destinations forms a relatively small, though
important, part of

the day.

The remaining 10% is allocated to various other tasks, which may include
household chores,

meal times, and other miscellaneous activities. This segment, while the
smallest, underscores the

diversity of daily routines beyond the main activities.
