For {bogygreku xampre}, I don't know why that doesn't work. Doesn't the {le du'u} create a self-contained sentence? Why could that sentence not be a question? How about {.i paunai xu do djuno leni jdima lo xampre ckule}?

I came up with
{i'a nai pau nai do djuno lo du'u ma kau cu velve'u lo zu'o tadni vi lo xampre ckule}
after 1) looking at the long usage note on {jdima} and 2) noting that an amount of money is indicated not by a number {PA} but a sumti {lo rupnu be li xo} -- so it seems that {ma} is the correct interrogative sumti for the abstracted bridi.
