The graph shows the price of Apples and Oranges per Kilo over a 4-year period from 1999 to 2003. Despite the price fluctuating quite a lot, apples finished the period costing much more than at the beginning, while oranges finished just a little more expensive than their initial price. In 1999 apples cost $5 per kilo, however, in the following year there was a drastic decrease in the price to only $1, the lowest price for apples over the whole period. Between 2000 and 2002 the price recovered to an extent, climbing from $1 to $3. In the last year of the period there was a sharp increase in the cost to $7, $2 more than at the start of the period. On the other hand, the price of oranges more or less followed the opposite trend. The price was low in 1999 at only $2. However, the following year it rose impressively to $5. Between 2000 and 2001 there was a steady increase in the cost to $6. This was the highest price that oranges achieved over the whole period. The following year the cost declined sharply to $3 and in the final year oranges lost another 50 cents in value to finish the period at $2. 50.
