For this case we must obtain 18% of 1350. For this, we make a rule of three.

1350 -----------> 100%

x -----------------> 18%

Where the variable "x" represents the amount of Theresa's tip.

$x = \frac {18 * 1350} {100}\\x = 243$

Thus, Theresa's tip, based on a total sale of $ 1350, is $ 243.

Answer:

$ 243.
