How much money the VIP has? (8)
I believe the answer is:
sixpence
'how much money the vip has?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'how much money' is the wordplay.
'how much' becomes 'six' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'money' becomes 'pence' (I've seen this before).
'six'+'pence'='SIXPENCE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sixpence that I've seen before include "Old tanner" , "Former coin, one fortieth of a pound" , "Old British coin" , "'Tanner' (coin)" , "bit dated" .)
