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.

The amount of the tip is 20/100 * $13.99 = $<<20/100*13.99=2.799999999999999>>2.80

The total cost is $13.99 + $2.80 = $<<13.99+2.80=16.79>>16.79. Answer: \boxed{16.79}.
