Assume a pond contains 90 fish: 70 orange, 19 silver, and 1 red. A contestant pays $0.55 to randomly catch one fish and receives $0.35 if the fish is orange, $1.15 if the fish is silver, and $15.00 if the fish is red. How much (on average) does the carnival gain on each play? (If the carnival looses money, enter a negative dollar amount)
