Real-World Example

You and two friends have a dinner bill of $85.50. You want to leave a 20% tip and split the total bill 3 ways.

• Bill: $85.50
• Tip %: 20%
• People: 3
• Tip Amount: $85.50 * 0.20 = $17.10
• Total Bill: $85.50 + $17.10 = $102.60
• Per Person: $102.60 / 3 = $34.20

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
