The percent of the tip is 16.4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent of the tip, divide the tip amount by the total paid and then multiply by 100. So in this case, the tip was $12.00 and the total paid was $73.25. Therefore, the percent of the tip is:

TIP PERCENT = (12.00 / 73.25) * 100 = 16.37%

So the tip was approximately 16.37% of the total paid. Rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, the tip percent was 16.4%.
