Step-by-Step Solution: $160.00 / 9 = $17.78
Step 1
Identify Bill Total and Number of People
Total bill is $160.00 to be divided among 9 people.
Bill = $160.00, Diners = 9
Step 2
Divide the Total Bill by the Headcount
Divide $160.00 by 9: $160.00 ÷ 9 = $17.78 per person.
$160.00 / 9 = $17.78 each
Step 3
Check for Cent Rounding Discrepancy
Multiplying $17.78 × 9 = $160.02. If there is an odd cent difference, one person can round up by 1 cent or the change can be covered by the group.
9 × $17.78 = $160.02
Step 4
Including Tip in the Split
If you want to include tip: With 15% tip each person pays $20.44, with 18% tip $20.98, and with 20% tip $21.33.
With 20% tip: ($160.00 × 1.20) / 9 = $21.33 each
