Let P be what a person pays at the restaurant. As we have 4 people splitting a $114 evenly, we want to find out what one person pays. We don't know 1 person's payment, but all 4 are $114.
Our expression is 4P = 114
We can divide 114 by 4 (and thus get one P on the left) to find out what each person is responsible for. See this link - - https://divisible.info/LongDivision/How-to-calculate-114/divided-by-4-using-long-division.html -- to go through the process of the long division.
Each person would be responsible for $28.50. Since each person is paying an equal amount, no one person is going to save money over the other because Person 1 will pay the same as Person 2, who pays the same as Person 3 and as Person 4. Because Person 1 = Person 2 = Person 3 = Person 4, no one person will save because they are equally responsible for $28.50.
