Create an addition to the Motor Vehicle 3 assignment that will write the information
for the registration to a file. The name of the file should be "Registrations.ran".

Motor Vehicle 3 is a program that asks user for vehicle type, color, mileage etc.
and prints a receipt of the cost to licence the vehicle.
Now I need to do the instructions listed above but I don't
know how. What is a .ran file and what would be steps I would
need to take?

Since you already have the class that generates the input, your teacher wants you to write the data to a file. a '.ran' file is a hypothetical file type your teacher has given you. You need to come up with a saving system, or use an existing one to format your data. The data should be coming in as Strings. Tie the Strings together with their descriptors e.g.:
"canary yellow" becomes: "Color: canary yellow"

Then you can just copypasta the code from the I/O tutorial:
