To calculate the total cost, first, we need to find the tip amount by calculating 20% of the haircut price.

  1. Tip Calculation:

    • Haircut price: $13.99
    • Tip percentage: 20%

    Tip = 20% of $13.99 = 0.20 × $13.99 = $2.798

  2. Rounding the tip to the nearest hundredth:

    • $2.798 rounds to $2.80.
  3. Calculate the total cost:

    • Total cost = Haircut price + Tip
    • Total cost = $13.99 + $2.80 = $16.79

So, the total cost Kyrian paid is $16.79.
