Step-by-Step Solution: $100.00 / 28 = $3.57
Step 1
Identify Bill Total and Number of People
Total bill is $100.00 to be divided among 28 people.
Bill = $100.00, Diners = 28
Step 2
Divide the Total Bill by the Headcount
Divide $100.00 by 28: $100.00 ÷ 28 = $3.57 per person.
$100.00 / 28 = $3.57 each
Step 3
Check for Cent Rounding Discrepancy
Multiplying $3.57 × 28 = $99.96. If there is an odd cent difference, one person can round up by 1 cent or the change can be covered by the group.
28 × $3.57 = $99.96
Step 4
Including Tip in the Split
If you want to include tip: With 15% tip each person pays $4.11, with 18% tip $4.21, and with 20% tip $4.29.
With 20% tip: ($100.00 × 1.20) / 28 = $4.29 each
