6th Grade Finding Possibility: Problem 3

Problem: There is a complete opaque bag, containing fifty balls of the same size but different colors within it. Without looking, Andy takes out a ball and doesn't put it back. There is one red ball, two yellow balls, ten green balls, and the rest are white. A red ball gives you eight dollars as a prize. A yellow ball gives you five dollars as a prize. A green ball gives you one dollar as a prize. A white ball gives you no dollars as a prize. Every time you give the person running the activity two dollars, you can pick out one ball. What is the probability of spending $4 for balls and receiving a prize of ten dollars?
