The line graph illustrates the alterations in the cost of apples and oranges in Australia over a period of four years, from 2010 to 2014.
Generally, the prices of both fruits experienced fluctuations throughout the given period. However, it is noticeable that the cost of apples showed a more dramatic change compared to that of oranges.
In 2010, the price of apples was slightly higher than that of oranges, costing around $2.5 per kilogram, while oranges were approximately $2 per kilogram. Over the next two years, the price of apples saw a sharp increase, peaking at nearly $4.5 per kilogram in 2012, whereas the price of oranges remained relatively stable, with a slight increase to around $2.5 per kilogram.
From 2012 onwards, the cost of apples showed a significant decline, dropping to just over $2 per kilogram in 2014. In contrast, the price of oranges continued to rise gradually, reaching a peak of nearly $3 per kilogram in 2014. This indicates that by the end of the period, oranges were more expensive than apples.
