      The author obtains lattice point counting formulas for dilated rational \(n\)-dimensional polytopes showing that the number of lattice points in the interior of closure of a vector-dilated simplex are expressed by quasipolynomials that satisfy a general reciprocity law [see \textit{E. Ehrhart}, J. Reine Angew. Math. 227, 25-49 (1967; Zbl 0155.37503)]. As an example, a counting formula for a two-dimensional rectangular rational triangle is derived which permits the computation of the number of lattice points inside any rational polygon.
