Step-by-Step Solution: $90.00 / 2 = $45.00
Step 1
Identify Bill Total and Number of People
Total bill is $90.00 to be divided among 2 people.
Bill = $90.00, Diners = 2
Step 2
Divide the Total Bill by the Headcount
Divide $90.00 by 2: $90.00 ÷ 2 = $45.00 per person.
$90.00 / 2 = $45.00 each
Step 3
Check for Cent Rounding Discrepancy
Multiplying $45.00 × 2 = $90.00. If there is an odd cent difference, one person can round up by 1 cent or the change can be covered by the group.
2 × $45.00 = $90.00
Step 4
Including Tip in the Split
If you want to include tip: With 15% tip each person pays $51.75, with 18% tip $53.10, and with 20% tip $54.00.
With 20% tip: ($90.00 × 1.20) / 2 = $54.00 each
