Question

who saves the most when this bill is split equally between the friends...If friend one pays the least amount originally is he saving the most when they split the bill?

Person 1: Paid 46.76
Person 2: 22.88
Person 3: 58.76
Person 4: 64.76
If the bill was split evenly who saved the most money?

Answer 1

Unclear. There are many ways to split the bill. Can they ALL save money at the same time? Question needs to be improved.

Answer 2

That's the rest of the question : 3. If each person paid an equal amount, who would save the most money? Explain your reasoning using at least two complete sentences.

Answer 3

Can you rephrase your question, @HelpMath1?

Answer 4

Still no good. How much did each one order?

Answer 5

Each one ordered 3 items

Answer 6

We are splitting the bill, not washing the dishes.

1) Order $10
2) Order $15
3) Order $20

Total Bill $10 + $15 + $20 = $45

Split the Bill evenly $45 / 3 = $15

1) Contributes $5 to others
2) Breaks even
3) Saves $5

The $$$$$$$ ordered is what is important and how many ways it is split and IF it is split evenly.

Answer 9

Well, there you go. Add them all up individually. Add the grand total. Divide by 4. Compare the individual totals.

Or, if you're a democrat, find each individual's personal income and charge a higher rate for those with higher incomes. It is particularly effective if the one with the lowest income manages to pay nothing. We wouldn't want anyone to pay less than their "fair share".
