Solution

No, this is not an example of a balanced budget. Here's why:

  1. Clark started with $500.
  2. He spent 100onpetfood,100 on pet food, 125 on groceries, and $250 on repainting his living room.
  3. If you add up all his expenses, it comes to 100+100 + 125 + 250=250 = 475.
  4. Clark has spent less than his initial amount, so he has some money left over.

A balanced budget means that income equals expenses. In this case, Clark's expenses are less than his income, so his budget is not balanced.
