Step-by-Step Solution: $240.00 / 7 = $34.29
Step 1
Identify Bill Total and Number of People
Total bill is $240.00 to be divided among 7 people.
Bill = $240.00, Diners = 7
Step 2
Divide the Total Bill by the Headcount
Divide $240.00 by 7: $240.00 ÷ 7 = $34.29 per person.
$240.00 / 7 = $34.29 each
Step 3
Check for Cent Rounding Discrepancy
Multiplying $34.29 × 7 = $240.03. If there is an odd cent difference, one person can round up by 1 cent or the change can be covered by the group.
7 × $34.29 = $240.03
Step 4
Including Tip in the Split
If you want to include tip: With 15% tip each person pays $39.43, with 18% tip $40.46, and with 20% tip $41.14.
With 20% tip: ($240.00 × 1.20) / 7 = $41.14 each
