See a solution process below:

A formula to solve this problem is:

$t = f + (v \cdot c)$ $t = f + (v * c)$

Where:

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

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

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

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

Substituting and calculating $t$ $t$ gives:

$t = $ 75.00 + ($ 8.50 \cdot 25)$ $t = $75.00 + ($8.50 * 25)$

$t = $ 75.00 + 212.50$ $t = $75.00 + 212.50$

$t = $ 287.50$ $t = $287.50$

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