Thursday is 'twofors' day so two €3 packs still = €3, take the 50% mark down and it's €1.5. Given that you paid €4 you are owed €2.5. However, everything is priced to the full € these days and as she has to round up your refund is €3- she was right. Creative Maths 101.

Other types of maths are available. Please see our free brochure, €4.75 at all good newsagents. Ts and Cs apply.
