Step-by-Step Solution: $160.00 / 3 = $53.33
Step 1
Identify Bill Total and Number of People
Total bill is $160.00 to be divided among 3 people.
Bill = $160.00, Diners = 3
Step 2
Divide the Total Bill by the Headcount
Divide $160.00 by 3: $160.00 ÷ 3 = $53.33 per person.
$160.00 / 3 = $53.33 each
Step 3
Check for Cent Rounding Discrepancy
Multiplying $53.33 × 3 = $159.99. If there is an odd cent difference, one person can round up by 1 cent or the change can be covered by the group.
3 × $53.33 = $159.99

Including Tip in the Split
If you want to include tip: With 15% tip each person pays $61.33, with 18% tip $62.93, and with 20% tip $64.00.
