Explanation:

Step1: List all category percentages

Housing: 23%, Clothing:16%, Medical:12%, Emergency Fund:5%, Transportation:14%, Food:20%, Savings:10%

Step2: Sum each option's percentages

Option1: $23\% + 16\% + 10\% = 49\%$
Option2: $23\% + 12\% + 20\% = 55\%$
Option3: $20\% + 14\% + 16\% = 50\%$
Option4: $14\% + 10\% + 23\% = 47\%$

Step3: Verify total of all categories

$23+16+12+5+14+20+10=100\%$. The only option that sums to 50% (half of total, a common framing for such questions) is Option3.
