Step-by-Step Solution: $70.00 / 4 = $17.50
Step 1
Identify Bill Total and Number of People
Total bill is $70.00 to be divided among 4 people.
Bill = $70.00, Diners = 4
Step 2
Divide the Total Bill by the Headcount
Divide $70.00 by 4: $70.00 ÷ 4 = $17.50 per person.
$70.00 / 4 = $17.50 each
Step 3
Check for Cent Rounding Discrepancy
Multiplying $17.50 × 4 = $70.00. If there is an odd cent difference, one person can round up by 1 cent or the change can be covered by the group.
4 × $17.50 = $70.00
Step 4
Including Tip in the Split
If you want to include tip: With 15% tip each person pays $20.13, with 18% tip $20.65, and with 20% tip $21.00.
With 20% tip: ($70.00 × 1.20) / 4 = $21.00 each
