and can help with this question?

James has organised a game to raise
money for charity at a local fair.
He rolls a fair 6 sided dice and flips a fair coin.
If the coin lands on heads, the number
on the dice is squared.
If the coin lands on tails, the number on
the dice is cubed.

Each person pays 50p to play.
If they score over 30 they win a £1.
The game is played 450 times.

How much money does James raise for
charity.

Answers on a postcard please. It's 40 years since I left school and I only did CSE Arithmatic and I really can't work out the process with this one.
