This is called independent probability. Just because the first two kids are girls does not change the probability of the next childs gender. 
So it is 1/2 or 50%. 
The chance of all three kids being girls is the same as tossing a coin thrice and having heads all 3 times. Thus it is 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Assign two variables for each problem, and write the equations. Do not solve.
NemiM [27]
Price of boots is represented as x, price of tennis shoes is represented as y. x-y=44.38 x+y=196.12 Isolate x. (Or y, if you wanted to) x=y+44.38 x=196.12-y Set them equal to each other. y+44.38=196.12-y Solve for y. Then plug it in to either of the two original equations to find x. x=120.24 y=75.86 Note: This is assuming that the boots are more expensive than the tennis shoes. If the tennis shoes are more expensive than the boots, then the prices would be switched. I didn't find this clear in your question.

Kate borrowed $400 from her friend. She will repay this amount plus 3 percent simple interest after one year. What is the total
tekilochka [14]
The answer is $412.

Let's first calculate simple interest. Simple interest (I) can be expressed as:
I = P * r * t
P - principal
r - rate
t - time period

It is given:
I = ?
P = $400
r = 3% = 0.03
t = 1 year

Therefore:
I = P * r * t = 400 * 0.03 * 1 = 12

The total amount Kate will repay is the principal amount (P) plus 3% simple interest (I):
P + I = 400 + 12 = $412

Order of Operations = Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally, PEMDAS. P= Parentheses E=Exponents M= Multiplication D= Division A= Addition and S= Subtraction in that order.

The answer
4-10+12/3+(7^2-7)
4-10+12/3+(49-7)
4-10+12/3+56
4-10+4+56
4-14+56
4-70
-66

-66 should be your answer if i’m not mistaken
