Courses Plus Student 8,009 PointsCode works but the result is wrong. Running this code i use 5 for the number of ppl and 555. it returns 1 instead of 111
import math
def spli_check(total, number_of_ppl): cost_per_pers = math.ceil(total / number_of_ppl) return cost_per_pers
total = float(input("Please Input number of ppl ")) number_of_ppl = int(input("Please Input cost ")) amt_due = spli_check(total, number_of_ppl )
print("Each person owes ${}".format(amt_due))
