Answer:


0.18m represents amount of tip Jake pays to restaurant.

Explanation:

We have been given that Jake is eating dinner at a restaurant. The cost of his meal, including sales tax, is m dollars.

Jake left an 18% tip. The amount Jake pays at the restaurant is represented by the following expression in this expression
m+0.18m.

We know that Jake's total amount will be equal to cost of his meal plus 18% of the cost of meal.


\text{Total cost of dinner}=m+((18)/(100)* m)


\text{Total cost of dinner}=m+0.18m

Therefore, the term
0.18m represents amount of tip Jake pays to restaurant.
