Gary's house cost 500,000 pounds, which is half of the one million pounds he won on a quiz show.

If Gary won a million pounds on a quiz show and then spent half of the money left on a house, we need to calculate the amount he spent on the house. To find out how much Gary's house cost, we simply take the total amount he won, which is one million pounds, and divide it by two, since he spent half of it on a house.
The calculation is as follows: 1,000,000 pounds / 2 = 500,000 pounds Therefore, Gary's house cost 500,000 pounds.
