Answer 2

`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.
