You can put this solution on YOUR website! What's the probability he WON'T make a sale?
That's easier, because he could make 1,2,or 3 sales, and each has its own probability.
Probability he will NOT sell is
0.4*0.4*0.4=0.064
Probability he will sell to at least one is 0.936 (1-0.064).
In statistics problems with multiple choices, sometimes it is easier to figure out what you DON'T want and subtract it from 1.
