Solution Steps

To determine if the Harris family's budget categories add up to exactly 100 percent, we need to sum the given percentages and check if they equal 100%.

Solution Approach
  1. Extract the given percentages for each budget category.
  2. Sum these percentages.
  3. Check if the total is equal to 100%.
Step 1: Identify Given Percentages

The problem provides the following percentages for the Harris family's budget categories:

  • Housing: \(30\%\)
  • Car Expense: \(9\%\)
  • Insurance: \(8\%\)
  • Recreation & Miscellaneous: \(6\%\)
Step 2: Calculate Total Percentage

To determine if the budget categories add up to 100%, we sum the given percentages: \[ 30\% + 9\% + 8\% + 6\% = 53\% \]

Step 3: Compare Total to 100%

The total percentage of \(53\%\) is compared to \(100\%\). Since \(53\% \neq 100\%\), the budget categories do not add up to 100%.

Final Answer

The Harris family's budget categories do not add up to exactly 100 percent. The statement is \(\boxed{\text{False}}\).
