Why are there parentheses around the inputs? Have you omitted the
conversion to numbers?
My guess is the OP is using Python2 rather than Python3. So my first
piece of advice would be to switch to Python3 now so you don't have to
re-learn oddities like input(), print() and string handling.
The OP says it prints 44.44.
In Python 2, / does integer division, so it would print 44.00.
Well, it's inconsistent one way or the other. We'll have to wait for
more information.

total = bill + (bill / tip)
That adds a 1/9 of the bill. It should add 9% of the bill.
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

Don't you mean
total = bill + (bill * tip) ?
eachPay = total / split
print("Each person will have to pay %.2f" % eachPay)

RE: Calculations and Variables
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.
