Frodo and Sam's Lunch at the Prancing Pony
Frodo and Sam are eating lunch at the Prancing Pony. Frodo's meat pie cost 3 bronze pieces (BP) and his flagon of ale 2 BP. Sam was famished: he ordered two meat pies, two flagons of ale and three apples at 1 BP apiece. Frodo has only 3 pieces of silver (SP) in his purse. One SP is worth 10 BP. How much money will Frodo have left after he has paid for their meal?
