You bought three one-pound items, two two-pound items, and one three-pound item. To get the 0.5 pounds, you have to buy three of either the one-pound or three pound item. But you knew that already, didn't you!
- UK Version
You bought three £1 items, two £2 items, and one £3 item. To get the last 50p, you'd have to have bought three of either the £1 or the £3 items - though the latter option would have taken you over budget. But you already knew that, didn't you?
