Probability question

Suppose I have three coins. Two are fair coins (they have a 50% chance of landing on heads and a 50% chance of landing on tails). One is a weighted coin that has a 75% chance of landing on heads. Suppose I pick one of the coins at random.


Is my answers correct and how can I solve question C

               A)          What is the probability that I picked the weighted coin? = 1/3

               Suppose now that I flip the coin that I picked and it lands on heads. 

               B)           Now what is the probability that I picked the weighted coin? Bayes theorem = 0.428

               Suppose now that I flip it again and it lands on heads again.

               C)           Now what is the probability that I picked the weighted coin? No idea how to go about this
