To find out what percent tip Miles' grandpa left, we need to divide 5 (the tip amount) by 36.25 (the total bill), and then multiply by 100 to turn it into a percentage.
5 รท 36.25 = 0.138
Now, we need to turn 0.138 into a percentage by multiplying by 100.
0.138 x 100 = 13.8
So, Miles' grandpa left a 13.8% tip. Rounded to the nearest whole percent, that would be 14%.
