The answer is $ 1.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value is the weighted average of the three products, and is calculated as all averagerages are:

50 customers pay $ 1.20  

30 customers pay $ 2.00

20 customer pay  $ 3.50

Expected Value = 50*1.20+30*2.00+20*3.50/100 = 60+60+70/100 =190/100
