In a multiple support agreement, multiple people contribute towards the support of an individual but no one person provides more than 50% of the support. In this scenario, Fred and Lucas together contribute 90% of the support, which is more than 50%, making either of them eligible to claim their mother as a dependent. Robert's contribution of 10% is less than 50% and therefore he cannot claim his mother as a dependent.
