Portfolio Task 1


Small restaurant

The table below shows the sales at a small restaurant in a downtown American business district. The lunch and dinner sales during the week peaked on Friday and then dipped down as the weekend set in.

            On Monday the dinner sales were more than lunch sales; it was $3,623 for dinner but for lunch it was $2,400. On Tuesday the dinner sales rose to $3,850 and the lunch sales rose to $2,450. On Wednesday the dinner sales dropped to $3,450 but the lunch sales rose to $2,595. On Thursday there is a big difference between lunch and dinner; lunch sales were $2,375 but the dinner sales were $3,800. The highest sales for lunch occurred on Friday, and the lowest occurred on Saturday. Saturday’s lunch sales were approximately $1,950 less than the average lunch sales during the rest of the week.

            In conclusion, the dinner sales were more than the lunch sales every time and the lowest sales were on Saturday.

Population growth 1750 to 2150

Line Graph Population Growth 1750 to 2150

This line chart shows the information about population growth in richer and poorer countries between 1750 and 2150. These estimates are by the United Nations World Population prospects and the Population Reference Bureau.
  
In 1750 the world population was below 1 billion but in 1800 there was a slight increase in both developed and undeveloped countries. The growth in 2000 increased up to 6.1 billion but the increase was more dramatic in less developed countries than more developed countries. The population in more developed countries stayed the same from 2000 to 2011. Also they expect it to be the same from 2012 to 2150.Less developed countries saw a bigger increase from 2000 to 2010. The population growth is estimated to reach 11 billion in 2150. From 1950 to 2000 world population increased three times.

All in all, I think less developed countries expect to be more than 10 billion population.
