The Unit Rate is the start of the slope/the y-intercept of the slope.To find that we need to make the slope first.
(shown in the first picture)
We can see that the slope is a linear function/a straight line, and if we just follow the line down the slope we can see that it has a y-intercept/unit rate of 2/3 of 1 whole.

Short answer:
TotalCost = 12.96
Long answer:
It gives you the equation of
total cost = C + 0.08C
You just need to plug-in the $12 to the equation.
In other words, the equation is:
TotalCost = 12 + 0.08*12
TotalCost = 12 + 0.96
TotalCost = 12.96
