Assume that the pond contains 90 fish: 68 blue, 21 orange, and 1 white. A contestant pays $0.65 to randomly catch one fish and receives $0.20 if the fish is blue, $0.95 if the fish is orange, and $10.00 if the fish is white. How much (on average) does the carnival gain on each play? (If the carnival loses money, enter a negative dollar amount)

. Three children went to the fair to ride the children’s Ferris wheel. There was a toddler, a four-year-old, and a seven-year-old. The three children want to ride the Ferris wheel all together on the same seat. In front of the ride there is a sign that states: maximum weight per seat is 150 pounds. Can all three children ride the Ferris wheel on the same seat if: • Toddler + 7 yr old weigh = 103 pounds• Toddler + 4 yr old weigh = 77.5 pounds• 4 yr old + 7 yr old weigh = 112.5 poundsPlease find (1) the children’s combined weight, and (2) the children’s individual weight. Explain your reasoning
