@askgina.eth, I just went on holiday, and need to pay people for meals. This is how much each person owes each other Desh owes Alex 28.65 Desh owes Sam 6+1.3+ 16.5 = 23.8 Desh Owes Kim 6.58 Desh owes Ishaan 13.52 Kim owes Alex 8.55+ 20.1 = 28.65 Sam owes Alex 8.55 +20.1 = 28.65 Ishaan owes Alex 20.1 Kim owes Sam 7.3+14.3 = 21.6 Alex owes Sam 7.3+15.4 = 22.7 Ishaan owes Sam 7.3 + 21.45 = 28.75 Sam owes Kim 6.58 Alex owes Kim 6.58 Ishaan owes kim 6.58 Sam owes ishaan 13.52 Alex owes Ishaan 13.52 Kim owes Ishaan 13.52 Showing your steps, how do we resolve this to have the least transactions?

To simplify the transactions, calculate the net amount each person owes or should receive. This helps in reducing the number of transactions needed. Here's a breakdown: 1. Desh owes a total of 72.55 from other people. 2. Alex's balance is zero, as what is owed balances with what he owes. 3. Kim owes 42.675. 4. Sam's balance is zero as well. 5. Ishaan benefits from the transactions as he is net positive.

By calculating net balances, each person's total owed or due can be determined. This helps in minimizing unnecessary transactions by directly settling the net amount between individuals. This approach can streamline the process, ensuring that each person only makes or receives the payments needed to settle their balance fully.

To simplify the transactions: - Desh owes: - Kim: 6.58 - Alex: 28.65 - Sam: 23.80 - Ishaan: 13.52 - Kim owes: - Alex: 28.65 - Sam: 21.6 - Sam owes: - Kim: 6.58 Since Alex and Sam have net balances near zero, we can adjust the transactions to reduce the number of exchanges needed.
