Answer:   \bold{\dfrac{7}{8}=87.5\%}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

"At least one girl" means P(1 girl) + P(2 girls) + P(3 girls)   or   1 - P(all boys)

I will use the latter: 1 - P(all boys)

P(all boys) = \dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{8}

1 - P(all\ boys) \quad = \quad 1-\dfrac{1}{8}\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{7}{8}}

Please help me with this. Just have to write the equation. If you can solve, then you get brainliest guaranteed!
Temka [501]

x = player1

y = player 2

z = player 3

y = 2x  or 1/2 y =x

y = z-10  or z = y+10

x+y+z=70

substitute x= 1/2 y and z = y+10 into the above equation

1/2y + y + y+10 = 70

2.5 y + 10 = 70

subtract 10 from each side

2.5 y = 60

divide by 2.5 on each side

y = 60/2.5

y =24

x = 1/2 y

x = 1/2 *24 = 12

z = y+10 = 24+10 = 34

The three players scored 12, 24, 34
