How to split a tip

You have a bill, a percent, and a number of people. You will read the tip, the total, and the share in this tab. 100 at 20% for 4 people is a tip of 20.00 and 30.00 each. The 30.00 is the whole bill split four ways. The tip alone, split four ways, would be 5.00.

  1. Split the whole bill, not only the tip

    100 at 20% for 4 people: the tip is 20.00, the total is 120.00, and each person pays 30.00. Dividing only the tip by 4 gives 5.00, which is a different question.

    100 at 20% for 4 people: tip 20.00, total 120.00, each 30.00.

  3. Enter the bill, the percent, and the people

    The bill must be zero or more. The percent is the tip rate. 100 at 20% adds a tip of 20.00.

  4. Read tip, total, and each

    All three lines use two decimals. There is no currency. Each is the total divided by the people count the page kept.

  5. A fraction of a person is dropped

    2.9 people counts as 2. On a bill of 100 at 20%, each of those 2 pays 60.00. 1.2 people counts as 1, so the one person pays 120.00.

    2.9 people counts as 2, so each pays 60.00.
    2.9 people counts as 2, so each pays 60.00.
  6. Fewer than one person fails

    0.9 does not become one person, and it does not become zero. The page fails. A bill below zero also fails. A bill of 0 is a tip of 0.00.
