Answer:

That is why i did not play this game.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets i have initially $100 .

There are 2 white and 3 black balls.

I have to draw 3 balls

If i draw no white balls, i lose $10; if i draw one white ball, i lose nothing; and if i draw both white balls, you gain $10.

So the final fortune =x

x = 100 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 3/2 x 3/2

x= $56.25

That is why i did not play this game.
