Each person will owe $23.60. Please mark as Brainliest if correct! :)

Answer:

So let's find out!

Step-by-step explanation:

20 percent= 20/100

Now, to make a proportion:

(Let x=Tip)

[tex]\frac{20}{100} =\frac{x}{177} \\100x=3540\\x=35.4[/tex]

We know the amount of the tip, now we need to find how much each person has to contribute:

(let y=$ everyone has to contribute)

[tex]9y=35.4+177\\9y=212.4\\y=23.6[/tex]

There we go!

Each Person has to contribute $23 and 60 cents!

Hope this helps!

P.S. Stay Safe!
