In the below paragraph, I guess even means "equal" like in the case, "I beat you in this game once, and you did me before, so we are even"
".........There was a girl who grew flowers in New Jersey and sometimes took flowers to customers on Staten Island. ....One day, as she was approaching the toll booth, she saw a toll booth attendant who reminded her of her mother.As she reached in her pocket, she found she had no money but a half dollar. Not knowing what to do, she handed the coin to her and asked nervously, "Want to buy a fresh red rose?" The attendant looked surprised at first, but glancing at the cars piling up behind her, she took two dollars from her purse and rang it up on the cash register. "Yes, I'll take it", she said with a smile, "And I suppose the price is two dollars even, right?"
And also could you tell me what ring it up at toll booth actually means? I think it's registering the amount into the money.
