    42.5

    Explanation:

    The computation of the expected value is shown below:

    = Low price range * chance percentage + high price range * chance percentage + most likely price range * chance percentage

    = $5 billion * 20% + $100 billion * 10% + $45 billion * 70%

    = $1 + $10 + $31.5

    = 42.5

    Basically we multiplied each one with its chance percentage
