Cathan and Jakove went out to eat, and the bill for their food was $24.50. If theyleft their server a 20% tip, what was the total cost of their dining experience? *

\begin{gathered} \text{The total cost of the experience is } \\ Bill+(Bill\cdot(20)/(100)) \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{Then, the cost of the experience is } \\ 24.50+(24.50\cdot(20)/(100))=24.50+(24.50\cdot0.2) \\ =24.50+4.9 \\ =29.4 \end{gathered}

And the cost is $29,40
