Tip Calculator: Each Person

Part of the Making It Interactive section of Coddy's Flutter journey. Lesson 33 of 34.

Now the answer the app is for: how much each person pays. It follows from everything else, so it is one more final at the top of build, after tip:

final double each = (_bill + tip) / _people;

The parentheses matter. Dart divides before it adds, like in math class, so _bill + tip / _people would split only the tip.

The amount gets a dollar sign, and in a Dart string $ starts a variable. To show the sign itself, put a backslash in front of it: \$. Then the real ${...} follows:

Text('Each person pays \$${each.toStringAsFixed(2)}')

Challenge

Easy

At the top of build, work out what each person pays: the bill plus the tip, split between the people.
At the bottom, show it in size 28 and bold: Each person pays $44.00 for a bill of 40, a 10% tip and 1 person.

Try it yourself

  runApp(const MyApp());
}

  const MyApp({super.key});

  @override

      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      home: const HomePage(),
    );
  }
}

class HomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const HomePage({super.key});

  @override
  State<HomePage> createState() => _HomePageState();
}

class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {
  double _bill = 0;
  double _tipPercent = 10;
  int _people = 1;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final double tip = _bill * _tipPercent / 100;
    return Scaffold(
