Answer:

33 thats with the 1 dollar subtracted for the entry fee

Explanation:

first you add all the number of marbles you have then you get 41 then divide it by 12 because you have 2 gold and 10 silver and you get 3.4 and multiply that by 10 because its 6 and 4 and you get 34 subtract the entry fee
