The table data gives information on the average cost of lunch and dinner in three types of restaurants and also reveals the average time people spend on these restaurants. Overall, sit-down restaurants are more expensive and people spend more time on sit-down restaurants than they do in cafeterias and fast food restaurants.

Finally, the cheapest lunch could be found in a fast food restaurant which costs 4.5 dollars. During the lunch, people spend 45 minutes in a sit-down restaurant while they stay 30 and 20 minutes respectively in a café and fast food shop. On the other hand, dinners are expensive than the lunch and people spend more time on a restaurant for having the dinner than they do during lunch. Dinner costs $17 in a sit-down restaurant which is $7 higher than the cost of lunch in the same type of restaurant. People spend an hour to have their dinner.
