"Brenda is not correct because the total value of her assets could be less than the liabilities."
The number of items doesn't determine which side is larger — it's the dollar totals that matter. Also several items are misclassified: jewelry and a bank account are assets, but wages/commission/tips are income (not assets) and food, rent, health insurance are expenses. You need dollar amounts and correct classification to tell whether assets exceed liabilities.
