Just add up them all to get the total, take the average, and then get the difference from the first bill.
(110.65 + 4*174.62)/5 - 110.65 = 51.176
So, if she adds $51.18 to the first bill, they will all be
110.65 + 51.18 = 161.83
check:
161.83 * 5 = 809.15
110.65 + 4*174.62 = 809.13
So, she'll end up paying an extra 2 cents after roundoff error.
