Jack left 16.66% of gratuity for the waiter.

Explanation:

Given:

Restaurant bill amount = 52.00

Total bill jack paid = 62.40

To find:

percent of gratuity Jack left for the waiter = ?

Solution:

Lets first find the amount jack gave has gratuity to the waiter

The amount given for gratuity = 62.40 - 52.00

The amount given for gratuity = 10.40

Now the percentage is

=
(10.40)/(62.40) * 100

=
0.166 * 100

= 16.66 %
