Example
Scenario: A dinner bill totals $84.60, you want to leave an 18% tip, and there are 4 people.
Calculation:
Tip: $84.60 × 18% = $15.23
Total with Tip: $84.60 + $15.23 = $99.83
Each pays: $99.83 ÷ 4 = $24.96
Calculation:
Tip: $84.60 × 18% = $15.23
Total with Tip: $84.60 + $15.23 = $99.83
Each pays: $99.83 ÷ 4 = $24.96
