Examples
$55.25 bill, 18% tip, 2 people
The default scenario: $9.95 tip, $65.20 total, $32.60 per person.
- Tip: $55.25 × 0.18 = $9.945, rounded to $9.95.
- Total: $55.25 + $9.945 = $65.195, rounded to $65.20.
- Per person: $65.195 / 2 = $32.5975, rounded to $32.60.
$84.50 bill, 20% tip, 3 people
Dinner for three: $16.90 tip, $101.40 total, $33.80 each.
- Tip: $84.50 × 0.20 = $16.90.
- Total: $84.50 + $16.90 = $101.40.
