Split Headcount
3 people
Total Bill

Step-by-Step Solution: $300.00 / 3 = $100.00
Step 1
Identify Bill Total and Number of People
Total bill is $300.00 to be divided among 3 people.
Bill = $300.00, Diners = 3
Step 2
Divide the Total Bill by the Headcount
Divide $300.00 by 3: $300.00 ÷ 3 = $100.00 per person.
$300.00 / 3 = $100.00 each
Step 3
Check for Cent Rounding Discrepancy
Multiplying $100.00 × 3 = $300.00. 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 × $100.00 = $300.00
Step 4
Including Tip in the Split
If you want to include tip: With 15% tip each person pays $115.00, with 18% tip $118.00, and with 20% tip $120.00.
With 20% tip: ($300.00 × 1.20) / 3 = $120.00 each
