First, we need to convert all the fractions to have the same denominator. 10 and 25 are both multiples of 100, so 100 would be appropriate.
Sam has a 7/25 chance. Because we want ?/100, something needs to change. To get from 25 to 100, you need to times 25 by 4, right? So, do the same with the 7.
7 x 4 = 28. Therefore Sam has a 28/100 chance.
Sue has 3/10. Using the same method, we can see that 3 needs to be multiplied by 10 (because 10 times 10 = 100). So Sue has a 30/100 chance.
Tom is already in the fraction we like, so just keep this as 21/100.
Now, add 28/100, 30/100 and 21/100 to get 79/100.
Because won of them will get the role of class president, we know that the probability adds to 1. To get a full probability (100/100, or 1), what needs to be added to 79/100?
Another way of going about this is 100/100-79/100. The answer is 21/100
The probability of Liz winning is 21/100.
Let me know if this is still unclear, I would be more than happy to explain in more detail if necessary :)

Slot A = chairperson position
Slot B = secretary position
Slot C = treasurer position
There are 9 choices for slot A. After picking that person, there are 8 choices for slot B. Then 7 choices for slot C
Multiply those values out: 9*8*7 = 72*7 = 504
There are 504 ways to pick three people from a pool of nine.
Answer: 504
Note: order matters so this is a permutation. You can use the nPr permutation formula with n = 9 and r = 3 to get the same answer
