$2.90 more than Australia's $32.00
Each line is an item's typical price in Melbourne. The small line under each price says how far it is from the typical price across Australia, every city's cafe prices together.
The typical price is the middle price: half the cafes charge less, half charge more.
From a babycino at $2.50 to eggs benedict at $24.00.
Each total adds up the typical price of every item in your order: the middle price among a place's cafes, so it is not one cafe's bill. It starts as Brekkie for one: a flat white, banana bread and smashed avo.
