First mulitply 74.58*18, than add 3.15*18 to that, and lastly add 36.50*8 to get your answer

She makes 18 monthly payments of $74.58                   =>   18 * 74.58
The rental center charges $3.15 for every purchase              + 3.15
late fees in the amount of $36.50 eight different times         +  8 * 36.50
