Over the figure quoted (3)
I believe the answer is:
too
'over' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the figure quoted' is the wordplay.
'the figure' becomes 'two' (I've seen this before).
'quoted' shows a homophone (sound like).
'two' is a homophone of 'TOO'.
(Other definitions for too that I've seen before include "Also; overly" , "To a greater than desirable extent" , "Unduly" , "As well, also" , "What a pity!" .)
