Answer:

Option C. 70$

Explanation:

This one is actually easy to solve.

We have 50 players, and each of these players have the same chance of winning the voucher of 250$.

If this is true then:

50 * 0.2 * 250 = 2500$

This is the cost of the casino for all the 50 players.

Now, if the casino wants the 1000$ earning profit, they need to reach to 3500$ for player. Therefore, the charge that the players would be charged by the casino is:

3500/50 = 70$

This is the charge for each player
