If you're passing a dollar bill, it would be 5 people. 0.1*1x=0.5; x=5
If you only have $0.90 after the first pass, because you took out the taxes, then it is more complicated. I don't think there will be a good formula because you have to round to the nearest cent, and rounding error will become very significant.
Tax - left
10c - 90c
9c - 81c
8c - 73c
7c - 66c
7c - 59c
6c - 53c
5c - 48c
More than half gone after 7 people.
