Step 2:
: Calculate the tip amount

Tip = 23.00 \times 0.20 = \$4.60
- The bill total is 23.00 - To calculate the tip, multiply the bill by the tip percentage

Step 3:
: Calculate the total amount to pay

Total = \$23.00 + \$4.60 = \$27.60
- Add the original bill to the tip amount

Step 4:
: Round to the nearest cent

- The amount is already to the nearest cent, so no further rounding is needed

Final Answer

The total amount you should pay, including the 20% tip, is $27.60.
