A family eats at a restaurant and leaves a tip that increases the cost of the meal by 20%. The cost of the meal before the tip is $41.27. How much is the cost of the meal with the tip included?

A $33.02
(B $74.29
C $49.52
D $8.25

B $74.29

The cost of the meal before the tip is $41.27. Adding a tip that increases the cost of the meal by 20% means the tip is 0.2 * $41.27 = $8.25.

Therefore, the total cost of the meal with the tip included is $41.27 + $8.25 = $49.52.
