Sweets and snacks — this is the most common category for younger teens. 2. Mobile phone cards and internet — staying connected is very important for modern youth. 3. Clothes and accessories — many teenagers want to look stylish and follow fashion trends. 4. Going out (cinema, cafes) — spending time with friends is a priority. 5.

Математическая справка (если нужно посчитать процент из текста): В тексте указано, что \( £3.3 \) миллиарда — это только \( 60\% \) от общих трат. Чтобы найти общую сумму (\( X \)), используем формулу: \[ X = \frac{3.3 \cdot 100}{60} = 5.5 \] Таким образом, общие траты составляют \( £5.5 \) миллиарда.
