To calculate the total cost including the tip, follow these steps:
1. Find the amount of the tip:
\[
\text{Tip} = 20\% \text{ of } 24.98 = 0.20 \times 24.98 = 4.996
\]
2. Round the tip to two decimal places:
\[
\text{Tip} \approx 5.00
\]
3. Add the tip to the original bill to find the total cost:
\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Bill} + \text{Tip} = 24.98 + 5.00 = 29.98
\]
Thus, the total cost including the tip is **$29.98**.
