Each person owe $26.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of friends = 8

Total bill = $177

Tip to the waiter = 20%

Each person owe = ?

Tip to the waiter =
(20)/(100)X177\\ \\

= $35.4

Total bill will become = $177 + $35.4

= $212.4

Each person owe =
(total)/(number of people)

=
(212.4)/(8)

= $26.55

Therefore, each person owe $26.55
