You try it. I'll be glad to check your answer.
26 * .18= $4.68
So far, so good. The tip is $4.68. The question, though, asks for the total cost with tip.

To find the total cost with the tip, you need to calculate the tip amount and then add it to the original cost of the food.
Step 1: Calculate the tip amount:
To find the tip amount, multiply the cost of the food by the tip percentage. In this case, the cost of the food is $26 and the tip percentage is 18%.
Tip amount = Cost of the food x Tip percentage
Tip amount = $26 x 0.18
Step 2: Calculate the total cost:
To find the total cost, add the tip amount to the original cost of the food.
Total cost = Cost of the food + Tip amount
Total cost = $26 + (tip amount calculated in step 1)
Now let's calculate the tip amount and add it to the original cost:
Tip amount = $26 x 0.18
Tip amount = $4.68 (rounded to two decimal places)
Total cost = $26 + $4.68
Total cost = $30.68
So, the total cost with the tip will be $30.68.
