Step-by-Step Solution: $120.00 / 8 = $15.00
Step 1
Identify Bill Total and Number of People
Total bill is $120.00 to be divided among 8 people.
Bill = $120.00, Diners = 8
Step 2
Divide the Total Bill by the Headcount
Divide $120.00 by 8: $120.00 ÷ 8 = $15.00 per person.
$120.00 / 8 = $15.00 each
Step 3
Check for Cent Rounding Discrepancy
Multiplying $15.00 × 8 = $120.00. If there is an odd cent difference, one person can round up by 1 cent or the change can be covered by the group.
8 × $15.00 = $120.00
Step 4
Including Tip in the Split
If you want to include tip: With 15% tip each person pays $17.25, with 18% tip $17.70, and with 20% tip $18.00.
With 20% tip: ($120.00 × 1.20) / 8 = $18.00 each
