work - Definition from Longman English Dictionary Online
if a cost or amount works out at a particular figure, it is found to be that much when you calculate it
work out at/to £10/$500 etc
The bill works out at £15 each.
What does each mean here? Is the word necessary in the sentence?
It means for each person. For example if it was a restaurant bill for four people, it would mean the total bill was £60.
You could say either : ... at £15 each or ...at £15 per person. The meaning is the same.
Thank you, Sue.
