If I have the amount $100.01 and I want to distribute it between 2 accounts equally using percentages, is there a way to do it so it adjusts to balance?

Example: This is what I get with $100.01
Account A (50%) =$50.01
Account B (50%) =$50.01

The problem is the accounts total $100.02 not $100.01.

This is what I want it to do, where it divides equally but assigns the extra cent to the first account.
$100.01
Account A $50.01
Account B $50.00
Total of Accounts is $100.01

Is there a way to do this? I appreciate any insight.
 
In B1, =round(a1/2, 2)

In B2, =a1 - b1
