Final answer:

To split the bill evenly, each person would pay $15.70.


Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much each person would pay, we need to divide the total amount (bill plus tip) by the number of people splitting the bill evenly.

The bill is $52.35 and they want to leave a 20% tip. So the tip amount is 0.2 * $52.35 = $10.47.

The total amount including tip is $52.35 + $10.47 = $62.82.

Since there are 4 people sharing the bill, each person would pay $62.82 / 4 = $15.70.
