    Probability that customer will buy 2 boxes of Thin Mints: 3/12*2/11=6/132

    Probability that customer will buy 2 boxes of Tag-Alongs: 4/12*3/11=12/132

    Probability that customer will buy 2 boxes of Somoas: 5/12*4/11=20/132

    Thus the probability in total is 6/132+12/132+20/132=28/132=28.7879%
