Answer 1

To calculate Kyrian's total cost, we first need to calculate the tip amount and then add it to the original cost of the haircut.

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

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

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

So the total cost rounded to the nearest hundredth is $16.79.
