Find the original invoice amount, subtract the return from May 3rd. That is how much is now due. The discount is for paying early, so the discount is only taken on the amount you're actually paying on. Since there was a return, you would not be paying on that portion. So you have to reduce by the return first, to see how much is now due and payable. And then figure your discount on that amount.
