Kyrian went to the salon and paid $13.99 for a haircut. He left a 20% tip. How much was his total cost? Round to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the total cost, we first calculate the tip based on the haircut price of $13.99.

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

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

3. Add the tip to the original cost of the haircut to find the total cost: \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Haircut Cost} + \text{Tip} = 13.99 + 2.80 = 16.79 \]

Thus, Kyrian's total cost is $16.79.
