To find the total cost of Karen's haircut including the tip, you first need to calculate the tip amount.
1. **Calculate the tip:**
- Tip = 20% of $13.99
- Tip = 0.20 × 13.99 = $2.798
2. **Add the tip to the original cost:**
- Total Cost = Original Cost + Tip
- Total Cost = $13.99 + $2.798 = $16.788
3. **Round to the nearest hundred dollars and 27 cents:**
- Rounding $16.788 gives us $16.79.
Therefore, the answer is **d) $16.79.**
