Step-by-step explanation:

Total movies = children movies + comedies = 18 + 7 = 25

The combinations of 3 movies that she can rent if she once at least one comedy:


\begin{gathered} combination(1\text{ comedy \$ 2 ch i}ldren\text{ movies) + }combination(2\text{ comedy \$ 1 ch i}ldren\text{ movies) } \\ +\text{ }combination(3\text{ comedy \$ 0 ch i}ldren\text{ movies) } \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} ^{}\text{combination formula: } \\ ^nC_r\text{ = }\frac{n}{(n\text{ - r)!r!}} \\ combination(1\text{ comedy \$ 2 ch i}ldren\text{ movies) = }^7C_1*^(18)C_2 \\ =\text{ }\frac{7!}{(7\text{- 1)!1!}}*\frac{18!}{(18\text{ - 2)!2!}}=\text{ 7}*153 \\ =\text{ 1071} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} combination(2\text{ comedy \$ 1 ch i}ldren\text{ movies) = }^7C_2*^(18)C_1 \\ =\text{ }\frac{7!}{(7\text{- 2)!2!}}*\frac{18!}{(18\text{ - 1)!1!}}=\text{ 21}*18 \\ =378 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} combination(3\text{ comedy \$ 0 ch i}ldren\text{ movies) = }^7C_3*^(18)C_0 \\ =\text{ }\frac{7!}{(7\text{- 3)!3!}}*\frac{18!}{(18\text{ - 0)!0!}}=\text{ 35}*1 \\ =35 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} The\text{ }combinations\text{ }of\text{ }3\text{ }movies\text{ }that\text{ }she\text{ }can\text{ }rent\text{ if }shewantsatleastonecomedy\text{ } \\ =\text{ 1071 + 378 + 35} \\ =\text{ 1484} \end{gathered}
