$3.18 price
50% off = $1.59 ($3.18 / .5)
$5.00 - $1.59 = $3.41 in change.

The cashier gives back the customer $3.41. Half off $3.18 is $1.59. So if she gave the cashier $5.00, then she would get $3.41 back.

50% = 0.5
Multiply 3.18 times the decimal
3.18 x .5 = 1.59
$ 1.59 is the cost of the item
subtract 5,00 - 1.59 - 3.41
The cashier will give the customer $ 3.41

50% of $3.18 = 1.59
$5.00 -$1.59 = $3.41

.5 of $3.18 is $1.59. Now subtract that from five bucks and that will give you your answer.
