The total is #$28.94#~~

Explanation:

To calculate the total amount you have to multiply #$24.12# by #1.20#.

The result is #24.12xx1.20=28.944#.

The result has 3 digits on the right side of the coma, so you have to round the number to the nearest hundredth.
The digit on the right to the hundredths digit is lower than #5#, so the hundredths digit remains unchanged.

#28.944~~~28.94#

The final answer is The bill with the tip is $28.94
