Answer

$0.1346

Step-by-step explanation:

Find probability of each card and the value of each card and then add them together.

Probability of getting a heart = 13/52

Price of one heart =$0.30

Pay for one heart = 13/52×0.30=$0.075

Probability of getting a queen =4/52

Price of one queen =$0.55

Pay for one queen =4/52×$0.55=$0.0423

Probability of getting a queen of hearts =1/52

Price of one queen =$0.90

Pay for one queen =1/52×$0.90=$0.0173

Therefore the pay for one draw= $0.075+$0.0423+$0.0173=$0.1346
