To calculate the total cost including the tip, start by calculating the tip amount based on the cost of the haircut.

  1. Calculate the tip:

    • Tip = Haircut cost × Tip percentage
    • Tip = $13.99 × 0.20 = $2.798
  2. Round the tip to the nearest hundredth:

    • Rounded tip = $2.80
  3. Calculate the total cost:

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

Therefore, Kyrian's total cost is $16.79.
