Hello, and welcome!

Why don't you show us the actual error message you get? That will point 
to the line with the problem, or at worst the next line. Otherwise we 
have to GUESS where the problem is.

My guess is that the syntax error is this line:

> tip = int(input("Enter your tip percentage:")

Count the opening brackets ( and the closing brackets ). They don't 
match:

  ( ( )


By the way, you had an earlier line of code:


> tip = tip

That line is useless. Take it out.
