The horizontal axis represents age groups, ranging from 0 to 18, 19 to 25, 26 to 35, 36 to 45, and 46 plus, while the vertical axis shows percentages from 0 to 100 in increments of 20 units. The graph features five lines, each representing different reasons for the choices made by the participants. The blue line, labeled “To eat tasty food,” starts high at around 69.2 percent for the 0 to 18 age group and gradually decreases across the age groups, with a sharp drop to 31.52 percent for the 46 plus age group. The orange line, labeled “To visit a nice location,” starts at a moderate value of 31.52 percent for the 0 to 18 age group, decreases to 22.55 percent for the 19 to 25 group, stays relatively constant for the 26 to 35 group, with a slight rise to 24.18 percent in the 36 to 45 group, and ends at 15.21 percent in the 46 plus age group. The green line, labeled “It is convenient,” begins at 20.92 percent for the 0 to 18 age group, rises to 29.62 percent for the 19 to 25 group, decreases to 22.28 percent for the 26 to 35 group, rises to 32.60 percent for the 36 to 45 group, and finally decreases to 28.26 percent for the 46 plus group. The red line, labeled “It is trendy on social media,” remains relatively stable between 24.45 percent and 20 percent, with small fluctuations. There is a slight rise in the 26 to 35 age group to about 24.45 percent and in the 46 plus group to around 22.28 percent. The purple line, labeled “To socialize,” shows a gradual increase, starting at 17.39 percent for the 0 to 18 age group, rising to 23.64 percent for the 19 to 25 group, decreasing to 13.04 percent for the 26 to 35 group, rising again to 22.01 percent for the 36 to 45 group, and slightly decreasing to 19.56 percent for the 46 plus group.
