Step-by-Step Solution: $180.00 / 17 = $10.59
Step 1
Identify Bill Total and Number of People
Total bill is $180.00 to be divided among 17 people.
Bill = $180.00, Diners = 17
Step 2
Divide the Total Bill by the Headcount
Divide $180.00 by 17: $180.00 ÷ 17 = $10.59 per person.
$180.00 / 17 = $10.59 each
Step 3
Check for Cent Rounding Discrepancy
Multiplying $10.59 × 17 = $180.03. If there is an odd cent difference, one person can round up by 1 cent or the change can be covered by the group.
17 × $10.59 = $180.03
Step 4
Including Tip in the Split
If you want to include tip: With 15% tip each person pays $12.18, with 18% tip $12.49, and with 20% tip $12.71.
With 20% tip: ($180.00 × 1.20) / 17 = $12.71 each
