To calculate Kyrian's total cost, first we need to calculate the tip amount based on the haircut price of $13.99.

  1. Calculate the tip: \[ \text{Tip} = 20% \text{ of } 13.99 = 0.20 \times 13.99 \] \[ \text{Tip} = 2.798 \]

  2. Round the tip to the nearest hundredth: \[ \text{Tip} \approx 2.80 \]

  3. Now, add the tip to the original price of the haircut: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 13.99 + 2.80 \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 16.79 \]

So, Kyrian's total cost was $16.79.
