Official Solution:
Drop-down 1:
We should focus on the category with the largest increase in share. Recreational Places experienced the greatest increase, with its share rising from 2.1% to 3.6%, representing a 1.7-fold increase. This means the actual increase in expenditures for this category would be 1.7 * (the increase in total expenditures). For instance, if total expenditures doubled, expenditures for Recreational Places would increase by 1.7 * 2 = 3.4 times.
Drop-down 2:
In 2017, "Other FAFH sales, NEC" accounted for 2.6% of the total expenditure. Distributing this share evenly among the other eight categories would add approximately \(\frac{2.6}{8} \approx 0.33\) percentage points to each. The category with the highest percentage increase in share would be the one with the smallest initial share, which is Drinking Places, with an initial share of 0.6%. The percentage increase in share, therefore, would be \(\frac{0.33}{0.6} * 100 = 55\%\).
Correct answer:
Dropdown 1: "Recreational places"
Dropdown 2: "55%"
