Answer:

Each person tipped $4.30.

Explanation:

We know that the total bill was $51.60. The three people paid a 25% tip, which was split evenly among them.

Since the tip is 25%, it will be 25% of the total. Hence:


0.25(51.6) = \$ 12.9

The total tip is $12.9.

And since it was evenly split among three people, each person tipped:


\displaystyle (12.9)/(3)=\$ 4.30

Each person tipped $4.30.
