Total Area of Flower Bed and Pathway

In a park, there is a rectangular flower bed that measures 12 feet in length and 5 feet in width. Surrounding the flower bed is a pathway of uniform width, which is 3 feet wide. If this entire area, including the flower bed and the pathway, is considered as one large rectangle, what will be the total area of the flower bed and the pathway?

To find the total area, you need to calculate the dimensions of the larger rectangle formed by the flower bed and the pathway combined. The total length and width of the larger rectangle need to account for the pathway on both sides of the flower bed.
