You mean this?
amtChangeDue = totalBill - amtTendered;

What was the totalBill value, and what was the amtTendered value?

If amtTendered is bigger than totalBill , it seems pretty obvious why amtChangeDue is negative; if you have a number, and you subtract from it a bigger number, the result is negative.
