The organization don't pay you. If your computer finds the solution to one math problem, your computer will announce it to the network after it's been checked you are then awarded the price, a number of bitcoins. The only one "paying you" would be those exchange places, where people who need bitcoins for a transaction they want to make, need to buy them first and thus someone who mined them can cash out.
