    A will receive $11.2

    B will give $18.8

    C will give $6.8

    D will receive $6.2

    E will receive $8.2

    Explanation:

    Calculations are as follows:

    a spent $41

    b spent $11

    c spent $23

    d spent $36 and

    e spent $38

    Total Expense = $149

    If expenses need to be divided equally, then the following share comes in every person's part.

    $149/5 = $29.8

    So, a, b, c, d, e spent the above mentioned amount rather than $29.8

    So following calculations will show who owes to whom.

    a's share: $41-$29.8 = $11.2 A will receive $11.2

    b's share: $29.8-$11 = $ 18.8 B will give $18.8

    c's share: $29.8-$23 = $6.8 C will give $6.8

    d's share: $36 - $ 29.8=$6.2 D will receive $6.2

    e's share: $38 - $29.8 = $ 8.2 E will receive $8.2
