Maths Puzzle

[devayaani]

Hallo all,
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask my question. If not , my apologies.
I have been trying to solve this puzzle but am frustrated at not being able to solve it.
So, thanks if you can give the answer and how to solve this mathematically by using high school algebra or maths of that level.
Here is the question:
A customer presented a cheque to the cashier in the bank. The cheque had pounds and pence. (say he has written A pounds and B pence). The cashier blundered and gave the customer B pounds and A pence (transposed the figures, that's all.) The dishonest customer has quietly pocketed the money (wrong amount) and left the bank. Now he spent £ 25 and 74 pence. After spending this much money, he is now left with a cash equal to the exact amount he had written on the cheque!
How much wsa the amount he had written on his cheque?

Thanks for the answer and also the method to solve this puzzle.
(I apologise if this is a wrong place to seek help.)

Agree with the thread, can't see anything in the question that determines a unique solution.

Any value where pence is 26 greater than the pounds will suffice i.e.
£1.27, £2.28, £3.29 ..................£71.97, £72.98, £73.99

When I should have been thinking about something else this question went through my mind again today, unless there is a low limit on the value of a cheque, another answer is £0.26. So there we have it, seventy four correct answers.
