Statistics probability help

I am trying to understand a probability question that I am most likely making harder than it is. Help! I want to see how to solve...my original solution was wrong so I just want to see how to solve for review purposes. Thank you!


A bag contains four different colored balls. There are four blue calls, three red balls, two green calls and one orange ball. You pay $5 to reach in and pick one colored call from the bag. If you pick the blue ball you will $5, if you pick the red ball you win $10, if you pick the green ball you win $20 and if you pick the orange ball you win $100. What is the expected value for this game?
