Explanation:

A formula to solve this problem is:

#t = f + (v * c)#

Where:

#t# is the total cost: what we are solving for in this problem.

#f# is the fixed cost for the job: $75.00 for this problem.

#v# is the variable cost for the job: $8.50 for this problem

#c# is the count of items being produced for the job: 25 fr this problem.

Substituting and calculating #t# gives:

#t = $75.00 + ($8.50 * 25)#

#t = $75.00 + 212.50#

#t = $287.50#

The cost to have names imprinted on 25 jackets would be: $287.50
