Formula Used

Total Rent = Base Rent + (Living Room Cost × Living Room Included)

Where:

Base Rent = The monthly rent for the room
Living Room Cost = Additional cost if living room is included
Living Room Included = 1 if included, 0 if not

This formula provides a straightforward way to calculate the total rent when a living room is included in the rental agreement.

Worked Example

Let's say you're renting a room with a living room included:

Base Rent: $800 per month
Living Room Cost: $200 per month
Living Room Included: Yes

Using the formula:

Total Rent = $800 + ($200 × 1) = $1,000 per month

So your total monthly rent would be $1,000.
