10,338 PointsMy code with round to 2 decimal places. Didn't need to import math.
I did this for anyone wanting a more accurate calculation, what if it wasn't a meal but another calculation that needed a more exact answer.
line 12. print("Each person owes £{}".format(round(amount_due, 2)))
Happy coding.

And the comment about "nobody's getting ripped off anymore" is just his sense of humor. If this is your first lesson with Craig, you may have a bit of accustomization in store in future videos.

5,574 PointsI disagree about the practicality, but I suppose it doesn't matter - I know he is using it as a teaching tool - I just think it's a dumb example... however, I'm still paying for this... so... there's that I suppose.

5,574 PointsYea, I found this as well - I get that he was trying to show us import... but his example is stupid... check is $84 and some change and math.ceil spits out that everyone will owe $22 and then he says "then no one will get ripped off...", so dumb...
