Step-by-Step Solution: $240.00 / 9 = $26.67
Step 1
Identify Bill Total and Number of People
Total bill is $240.00 to be divided among 9 people.
Bill = $240.00, Diners = 9
Step 2
Divide the Total Bill by the Headcount
Divide $240.00 by 9: $240.00 ÷ 9 = $26.67 per person.
$240.00 / 9 = $26.67 each
Step 3
Check for Cent Rounding Discrepancy
Multiplying $26.67 × 9 = $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.
9 × $26.67 = $240.03
Step 4
Including Tip in the Split
If you want to include tip: With 15% tip each person pays $30.67, with 18% tip $31.47, and with 20% tip $32.00.
With 20% tip: ($240.00 × 1.20) / 9 = $32.00 each
