"That's good, they get broken so soon," Jane commented. "How many did you get?"

Peter shook his head. "You work it out," he replied. "The tumblers were 24p each, the wine glasses 29p, and I spent just £1 more on the tumblers."

"I've got it," his father declared. "And without actually writing down those numbers."

Can you do so?
