Answer:

By using a factor of 1.20.

Explanation:

One way to find the total price including the tip is by multiplying the number by a factor of 1.20, beacuse this factor includes the 20%, actually it represents a 120% of the price.

So, if they say that you have to pay $200, with 20$ tip would be

1.20(200)=240.

It would be $240 with the tipe.

That's how you calculate it.
