How are you getting any value at all? You are trying to do math on string
values just like in your infinite loop question.
This should raise
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'str'
Also, tips are usually given as percentages. Here with a tip value of 9 you're
saying that the tip is 1/9 th of the bill, which is where the number difference
is coming from. If someone entered 50 this is saying the tip is 1/50 th of the
bill, etc.

The code below which I have written should print the result of 43.6 with the
given values I have included at the end of this question, but for some odd
reason I get the result of 44.44.
bill = (input("Enter the total cost of the meal: \n"))
tip = (input("Enter how much the tip is: \n"))
split = (input("Enter how many people there are: \n"))
total = bill + (bill / tip)
eachPay = total / split
print("Each person will have to pay %.2f" % eachPay)
I am aiming for the result of 43.6, but somehow get the result of 44.44.
(meal cost: 200) (Tip: 9) (people: 5)
I seem to do the calculation below, but get different results each time.
Total * Percentage Amount / 100
