Each person would pay $20.47. 15% tip= $13.35 + $89= $102.35/5= 20.47

About $17.05,
Since 89/100= 1% of the total bill= 0.89
0.89*15= the total tip= 13.35
Add the total bill and the tip together would be $102.35,
And then you divide that between the 5 of your friends and you, so
102.35/6 which would equal to $17.0583 (3 repeating) for each person.
