Where:

\$ P \$: Total points earned
\$ \text{ticketPrice} \$: Cost of the flight ticket (USD)
\$ \text{pointsPerDollar} \$: Points earned per dollar spent
\$ \text{bonusPercentage} \$: Bonus points percentage (%)

Example Calculation

Sample Input

Ticket Price = $500, Points per Dollar = 2, Bonus Percentage = 25%

Step 1: Base points: \$ 500 \cdot 2 = 1000 \$

Step 2: Bonus multiplier: \$ 1 + \frac{25}{100} = 1.25 \$

Step 3: Total points: \$ 1000 \cdot 1.25 = 1250 \$

Result: Total Points = 1250.
