Answer: 3/4x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let his sister's sale be represented by x.
Since we are informed that Keiko sold 3 less than three-fourths of his sister's sales, the expression that represents what Keiko sold will be:
= (3/4 × x) - 3
= 3/4x - 3
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 :)

After the first, we have 2/3 left, the second and third took 1/6 and 1/4, or 5/12 (1/6+1/4=2/12+3/12=(2+3)/12=5/12). Now, we just subtract 5/12 from 2/3, so 2/3-5/12=8/12-5/12=(8-5)/12=3/12=1/4. This means we have 1/4 of an hour left.
