Craig has £13.40

He sees this offer in a restaurant:

Main courses £8.90 each. Buy one main course and get the 2nd HALF PRICE!

Can he afford to buy two main courses? Show your working.

Yes
Explanation:
Full price for first course: £8.90
Half price: £4.45
One and one half times
full price is then: £13.35
Since this is less than Craig's £13.40, he can just barely afford to buy two main courses at these prices.
