Repetition?

In the following conversation:

A: "9 Pounds please."

B: Takes out 60 pounds, and says, "Its 9 pounds? Here you go bro." and gives 60 pounds to the person.

Why does the person repeat "Its 9 pounds"?

11:15 to 11:20. I'm not sure if "its 9 pounds" is a question or statement. Could anyone tell me? I'm still trying to figure out tones.

He simply repeats the amount for the camera. He makes it sound like a question, but it is just rhetorical. He wants the viewer to be well aware that although the fare is only nine pounds, he is giving the cabbie sixty.
