The cash and carry price is only £50 but they charge extra for delivery. From online tests http://englishteststore.net/index.p...ily---filling-gap-test-03&catid=20&Itemid=117

There is no other context than that above, and I can't figure out what exactly this sentence means. If "cash" means " money in the form of notes and coins" (https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/cash_1), the sentence doesn't make sense to me. What is it about?

The expression cash and carry means "pay (for the item) and move it to your destination without assistance from the store".

It should be written as "£50", not "50 pounds".

Yes, it was written "£50" (in that exercise), but since I don't have this symbol on my keyboard I just typed it as a word. Is it a mistake?

For consistency, you should write either fifty pounds or £50.
