Simple example of bills splitting
This example is simple as there is only one person to repay.Suppose a group of 4 friends (including 1 couple) who spent a weekend in the countryside.
Robert paid 200 for accommodation.
He is single, so there is one part.
Thomas, Maria paid 100 for meals.
They are a couple, so there are two parts.
Jennifer did not spend money.
She is single, so there is one part.
Results of group expenses splitting :
The total expense is 300.
There are a total of 4 parts.
The amount of a part is 75 (300/4).
The couple Thomas and Maria must repay 50 to Robert.
Jennifer must repay 75 to Robert.
Complex example of bills splitting

Robert paid 200 for accommodation.
He is single, so there is one part.
Thomas, Maria paid 100 for meals.
They are a couple, so there are two parts.
Jennifer did not spend money.
She is single, so there is one part.
James paid 150 for activities.
He is single, so there is one part.
Results of group expenses splitting :
The total expense is 450.
There are a total of 5 parts.
The amount of a part is 90 (450/5).
