There are 8 permutations of three coins. Of those, three of them have only one head, so the probability of throwing only one head is 3 in 8, or 0.375.

However, you said, "at most", and that includes the permutation that does not include any heads at all, so the probability of throwing at most one head in three coins is 4 in 8, or 0.5.
