John and his family went out to eat at their favorite restaurant. The bill for the food was $65.00, and they a left 20% tip for the server. What was the total cost of their meal (including tip)?

To find the total cost of the meal, including the tip, follow these steps:

1. **Find the amount of the tip**:
   \[
   \text{Tip} = 20\% \times 65 = 0.20 \times 65 = 13.00
   \]

2. **Add the tip to the original bill**:
   \[
   \text{Total cost} = 65 + 13 = 78.00
   \]

Thus, the total cost of the meal, including the tip, is **$78.00**.
