Example: Restaurant Bill for 4 People at 20% Tip

Let’s imagine you and three friends go out to eat, and the total bill (before tip) comes to $100. You decide to leave a 20% tip. Here’s how the math works out:

1. Bill (before tip): \(\$100\)
2. Tip (20%): \(0.20 \times \$100 = \$20\)
3. Total Bill (with tip): \(\$100 + \$20 = \$120\)
4. Number of People: \(4\)
5. Tip per Person: \(\$20 \div 4 = \$5\, \text{per person}\)
6. Total per Person (with tip): \(\$120 \div 4 = \$30\, \text{per person}\)

So, if you split the bill evenly, each person pays $30, which includes their $5 share of the tip.
