A charity is selling raffle tickets at $10 apiece. Ten third-place winners will be drawn, each winning $20. Five second-place winners will be drawn, each winning $50. Finally, one grand prize of $200 will be awarded. If 100 tickets are sold, what is the expected value of one ticket?

In order to find the expected value, we must calculate the average returns on each ticket. So After doing this, we can say that each ticket will cost $6.50. I hope this is what you were looking for
