A bag contains a coin and two dice. One of them is drawn from the bag at random (with equal chance) and tossed. We win $480 if we get heads, lose $12 if we get tails, win $36 if we get 6, and neither lose nor win for any other outcome. What is our expected gain if we play this game once? Enter an exact value without any units.
