The provided table and bar chart illustrate the total weekly expenditure and a breakdown of costs for students studying abroad in four distinct countries, labelled A through D.

There is a clear correlation between the total weekly costs and the individual spending categories across all four nations.

Country A records the highest total weekly expenditure at $875. This is largely attributed to its significant living costs of $430 and tuition fees of $358, which are the highest among all countries.
