To calculate the total cost including an 18% tip on a food total of $28.00, follow these steps:

  1. Calculate 18% of $28.00:
    \[ 18% \text{ of } 28.00 = 0.18 \times 28.00 = 5.04 \]

  2. Add the tip to the original total:
    \[ \text{Total cost} = 28.00 + 5.04 = 33.04 \]

So, the total cost will be $33.04.
