Step-by-Step Solution: $120.00 / 7 = $17.14
Step 1
Identify Bill Total and Number of People
Total bill is $120.00 to be divided among 7 people.
Bill = $120.00, Diners = 7
Step 2
Divide the Total Bill by the Headcount
Divide $120.00 by 7: $120.00 ÷ 7 = $17.14 per person.
$120.00 / 7 = $17.14 each
Step 3
Check for Cent Rounding Discrepancy
Multiplying $17.14 × 7 = $119.98. If there is an odd cent difference, one person can round up by 1 cent or the change can be covered by the group.
7 × $17.14 = $119.98
Step 4
Including Tip in the Split
If you want to include tip: With 15% tip each person pays $19.71, with 18% tip $20.23, and with 20% tip $20.57.
With 20% tip: ($120.00 × 1.20) / 7 = $20.57 each
