This question is quite straight forward, with only 1 little trap.
In P, "Other" is 10% from 1000$ => 100$.
TRICKY PART: "fraction of the total of the expenses in the three non-housing categories"
Here are all the categories again:
1. Housing
2. Transportation
3. Groceries.
4. Other
The question asks for "non-housing" categories, which means (yes, we have to include "Other" again):
2. Transportation: 16%
3. Groceries: 14%
4. Other: 10%
TOTAL: 40% of 1000$ => 400$
100$ / 400$ => 1/4
Answer: D) 1/4
