Calculating the bill

whenever we go the food cuisine in shopping malls, they issued the bill by table collectively.
no1 is too loaded to treat for all, so we use AA(asing-asing) system or angmoh term is "dutch treat".
it seems so inappropriate for every1 to pay the cashier at same time and causing confusion here and there ...
so, usually 1 person will pay 1st and the others will pay him back

the problem arise when there is 10% service charge and 5%govt tax, making it total 15%

so let's say u eat RM7.70
RM7.70 x 1.15 = RM8.85
its easy when u take out the calculator and count
yea, i know the handphone has the calculator feature but y so calculative?

method 1
so this is the method being practiced the other day when i went out makan at Old Town
the meal RM7.70
round it up to RM8
very sure the price is RM9++ by mind calculation
so pay RM9

in case there is shortage/extra, the payer will bare/take it
as there won't be much shortage/extra, maybe RM1 or RM2 the most

or method 2
there is another method, suggested by Sinye - Starry Starry Fish
take the bill,
see how much the total tax,
divide!


p/s : its very potong stim to have people that calculate until the final cent
