A natural way to answer
Most of the time we split the bill evenly between everyone. It's the simplest way and it avoids arguments. Occasionally one person will pick up the tab and we pay them back another time.
Key phrases to use
- split it evenly — to divide a cost equally between everyone“Let's just split it evenly between the four of us.”
- pick up the tab — to pay the whole bill for everyone“He insisted on picking up the tab.”
