Answered by Grace
I think that the customer gave too little money. That's all I know...
Answered by Miku
The customer mistook the $5 for $.05 and the $2 for $.02

Answer
The costumer though $5 and $2 was 0.05 and 0.02, when you add it all together (2.50+0.25+0.05+0.2) is 2.82 when you get that you realize the customer gave 3 dollars and Ying kept 0.18 cents, 2.82+0.18=3.00
Answer
$.06
