A family budget generally reflects the family's income as well as the family's fixed and variable expenses. The fixed expenses will include food, rent and transportation costs.
Fixed costs are called fixed for a reason, no matter how many hot dogs Jackie sells, she will still have the $200 of fixed costs. An example of a fixed cost that she can have is a permit for selling food from a stand. If the permit cost $200 she will always have to pay that $200, even if she sold absolutely no hot dogs. Variable costs tend to fluctuate depending on the amount of products she produces. As for your question, if you haven't thought of an answer this far, Jackie's fixed costs are $200.
A good way to start is to keep track of all the money you earn and spend over a period of time (at least a month), and break it down into fixed expenses such as rent, and variable expenses such as gas and food. Add up the fixed expenses, subtract that from your income, and whatever is leftover can be split among the variable expenses. A very good walkthrough with worksheets is linked below.

Flexible expense, refers to expenses that vary month by month, like your gas, phone, and electric bill. Flexible expenses may also include money budgeted for clothes,food, entertainment, and savings. Things that may not cost you the same month to month. It's important to know the difference so you can budget accordingly. Source: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071101143515AABFl80
