To calculate the total bill including the tip, we first need to find the amount of the tip based on the original bill.

  1. Calculate the tip: \[ \text{Tip} = \text{Bill} \times \text{Tip Percentage} = 165.45 \times \frac{24}{100} \] \[ \text{Tip} = 165.45 \times 0.24 = 39.708 \]

  2. Now, add the tip to the original bill to find the total: \[ \text{Total} = \text{Bill} + \text{Tip} = 165.45 + 39.708 \] \[ \text{Total} \approx 205.158 \]

Rounding to two decimal places, the total amount including the tip is: \[ \text{Total} \approx 205.16 \]

Thus, their total, including the tip, is $205.16.
