The percentage of gratuity can vary in different parts of the country. Many people pay a 15 percent gratuity while in bigger cites people pay 20 or 25 percent. Unless a restaurant adds the gratuity to the bill, it is the choice of the customer as to what they pay.

No you can not, some restaurants have a tip-gratuity printed out on the bill stating how much to tip based on 10% to 30%.
AnswerThe question is somewhat confusing. "Tip" is another word for "gratuity". Many restaurants include a "gratuity" on the bill when serving a group of 6 or more. Once they have done that, you have no obligation to add any additional "tip". Naturally, a server or other individual who lives on tips will have a different perspective.To many of us, the mandatory tip (gratuity) is considered offensive and an insult. Since the tip has historically been voluntarily given to show gratitude for good service, the concept of adding a mandatory "gratuity" no longer means the same thing.Another perspectiveFifteen percent of $660 is $99. However, fifteen percent is a pretty cheap tip. Twenty percent ($132) would be more appropriate if you got good service.
It will be 15 percent of the amount due.
You certainly can ... many people do just that all the time. Some restaurants automatically add a certain percentage gratuity for parties of eight or more.

A restaurant can charge 15 percent gratuity automatically. Twenty percent is considered exceptional service and cannot be charged automatically by a restaurant.
Strictly speaking there are no "RULES" for gratuity in the USA. The general recommended amount for gratuity is minimum 15 percent of the check. For a buffet where the waitress does much less it can be as low as 10%. In other parts of the world leaving a tip is considered offensive.
