Even split or fair split
An even split is the bill divided by the number of people, plus the tip. A fair split charges each person for what they had: the salad and its tip for one person, and the rest of the bill divided between the others.
How to split the bill in Sumico
- Write the bill and the item paid on its own:
bill = $312, salad = $14.
- Set the tip once:
tip = 18%. Adding a percentage to an amount adds that percentage of it.
- Her share:
Maya: salad + tip is $16.52.
- Everyone else:
rest = bill - salad, then Others: rest / 5 + tip is $70.33 each.
For comparison, Even: bill / 6 + tip is $61.36 for everyone.
What the video shows
The group chat: dinner was $312 in total, someone says to split it six ways, and Maya says she only had a salad, $14. In Sumico the bill, the salad and an 18% tip go on their own lines. The even split is $61.36 each. Maya pays $16.52 for her salad with tip, and the other five pay $70.33 each. The answer goes back to the chat.
Questions
How do I change the tip?
Edit tip = 18% to any percentage, and every share that uses it updates.
Can I take out more than one item?

Does it round to cents?
