“Last winter, CampusParc set a budget of $350,800 for snow and ice removal, and ended up nearly $545,000 over by the end of the season. This year, they upped the budget to $609,600, Hoover said.”

If, according to the above quote, CampusParc went over budget by $545,000 (which means the total spent was $895,800) shouldn’t the increase have been greater than $609,600. Or should the article have stated that the budget was $350,800 but CampusParc ended up spending nearly $545,000? Instead of being $545,000 over, CampusParc was merely $194,200 over the original budget.
