Explanation:

The formula for tryptophan is $C_{11}H_{12}N_{2}O_{2}$

Mass of in tryptophan is $11\times 12=132g$

Mass of in tryptophan is $12\times 1=12g$

Mass of in tryptophan is $2\times 14=28g$

Mass of in tryptophan is $2\times 16=32g$

So, $\text{total mass}=132+12+28+32=204g$

$\text{mass of carbon}=132g$

$\text{mass percent of carbon}=\frac{\text{mass of carbon}}{\text{total mass}}\times 100 =\frac{132}{204}\times 100 =64.7$ %
