It makes sense to me, but they could have put the "£2.50 total" instead of just "£2.50" to make it more clear.

You pronounce it as "flet" because it's a combination of f, L, t and E. And if you think that's ridiculous, wait until you hear about the British Imperial system.
The British imperial system invades other countries, makes them use pounds and feet, and then leaves.
