Each Person Pays

Split Headcount
5 people
Total Bill

Step-by-Step Solution: $60.00 / 5 = $12.00
Step 1
Identify Bill Total and Number of People
Total bill is $60.00 to be divided among 5 people.
Bill = $60.00, Diners = 5
Step 2
Divide the Total Bill by the Headcount
Divide $60.00 by 5: $60.00 ÷ 5 = $12.00 per person.
$60.00 / 5 = $12.00 each
Step 3
Check for Cent Rounding Discrepancy
Multiplying $12.00 × 5 = $60.00. If there is an odd cent difference, one person can round up by 1 cent or the change can be covered by the group.
5 × $12.00 = $60.00
Step 4
Including Tip in the Split
If you want to include tip: With 15% tip each person pays $13.80, with 18% tip $14.16, and with 20% tip $14.40.
With 20% tip: ($60.00 × 1.20) / 5 = $14.40 each
