Can someone please comment on the correctness of the following sentence:
68% of the tourists bought jewellery, 26% local lackerware and other souvenirs, and 6% other items such as food.
To me the following variant sounds better:
68% of the tourists bought jewellery, 26% purchased local lackerware and other souvenirs, and 6% bought other items such as food.
However, I would like to know if the first example is grammatically correct and if it is, if it sounds just as 'clean'.
Thanks
