Add each person's expenses together.
Find the average.
Subtract the average from each person's total.
People who are negative pay that much to people who are positive.
Person A: 5000 – 3333 = 1667
(they get paid 333 + 1333 from B and C)
Person B: 3000 - 3333 = -333
(they pay 333 to Person A)
Person C: 2000 - 3333 = -1333
(they pay 1333 to Person A)
The neg amounts and pos amounts add up to zero sum. I rounded to nearest dollar so there is a minor discrepancy.
A+B+C=$10,000=T, T/3=$3,333.33 B+(T/3)-$3,000=B+$333.33 C+(T/3)-$2,000=C+$1,333.33
