To satisfy the multiple support agreement, each supporting person must provide at least 10% of the support, but no one person needs to provide more than 50%. In this case, both Carol and Isabel provided 25% of the support each, which is more than the required 10%. Dolly provided only 50%, which is exactly the minimum threshold. Therefore, Carol and Isabel can claim their father as a dependent, but Dolly cannot.
