So everyone that gets any vote tends to get a piece of the bounty. But most of the rewards (80%) are determined by the bounty creator (the account that send the funds to @steem-bounty). So if you are the bounty creator and you want to give 10 people equal amounts of the bounty reward, just upvote them fully.
But you can also give some more or less by changing the %-age slider correspondingly. You have a %-slider if you have a a decent amount of SP (else you always vote 100%). I think u get the slider once you have 400SP, so you may have not seen it yet.
Does it make more sense now?
Then you mean more than one reply can get bountry. right? and if a writer upvotes 4 replies in order of ( 100%, 50%, 30% 20% age), (in the case that this writer set 200$ bountry) the bountry is contributed like 100$, 50$,30$, 20$ to each reply right? In other words, a bountry taker is decided by only creator. right? then reason why there is 20% influence of other people is because sometimes a creator doesn't upvote any reply. right?
Check out this bounty where 300 steem was distributed among many people. But as creator i upvoted the winner with 80% and two others with 10%.
This way the bulk went to the winner but many people got some reward.

Yes and also to keep everyone interested and to make it a counity thing.
If a writer upvotes a reply with 100 %age and another reply with 50% ( there is 30 steems bountry), the former gets 20 steems bountry and the latter gets 10 steems bountry. right?
Yes you are getting it. But keep in mind that the community votes with voting power (rshares) and the bounty creator votes with a %-age slider.
This is to give the creator and easy way to distribute most of the bounty and avoid abuse by the community.
Thanks a LOT.
Have a wonderful weekend ~🌵
