Let's denote the cost for j jerseys as "C". We can set up a linear equation based on the given information:
For 15 jerseys: Cost = $360
For 25 jerseys: Cost = $500
We can use this information to find the rate of change in cost per jersey:
Cost change = ($500 - $360) / (25 - 15) = $14 per jersey
So, the linear equation representing the cost for j jerseys would be:
C = $360 + $14j (I think)
