To find the cost of the car in Rands, we can use the given exchange rate:

1. The exchange rate is \( 0.50 \) USD = \( 5.00 \) Rands.

2. To find out how many Rands are equivalent to 1 USD, we can rearrange the exchange rate:

\[
1 \text{ USD} = \frac{5.00 \text{ Rands}}{0.50} = 10.00 \text{ Rands}
\]

3. Now we convert the car's price from USD to Rands. The car sells for \( 16,000 \) USD.

\[
\text{Cost in Rands} = 16,000 \text{ USD} \times 10.00 \text{ Rands/USD} = 160,000 \text{ Rands}
\]

Therefore, the cost of the car in Rands is **R160,000**.
