Problem

Alice went to a shop to buy flowers for her sister. She bought 6 roses £1 each, 4 lilies 82p each, and 4 freesias 76p each. At the till she was asked to pay £12.25, which she asked to recalculate straight away pointing out that the amount was not correct. Alice did not calculate the full amount, but how did she know that they made a mistake?
