Week 2 Problem B

It's amazing how the actors pine for that 13½" tall, 8½ pound little guy. But that's because Oscar is more than just a gold trophy - he's a symbol that the work of an actress or director is worthy of the praise from his or her peers. Not surprising, then, that a crate of the statues being delivered turned up missing on March 8. Of the 55 that were missing, 52 were recovered by junk man Willie Fulgear. For returning them, he was rewarded $50,000. If the reward was proportional to the number returned, how much would he have been rewarded had he found all 55?
