Answer 1

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**.
