Cheque Problem

[Dee-M-See]

After cashing a cheque at the bank

I spent �1.00 before realising thet the bank clerk had made a mistake

I now had exactly twice the value of the original cheque

What was the original cheques value?

I am sure you have asked this before - I have certainly answered it before, but it was worded slightly differently then.

Unfortunately, this time you have omitted to include a vital piece of information and without it there are an infinite number of possible answers.

You should have said that the bank transposed the pounds and pence. eg. If the original cheque was for �12.34, the bank gave you �34.12 (this is not the answer).

You are quite right it should have said the mistake was that the clerk had transposed pounds with pence

The original cheque amount was �32.66
