I believe that the answer should be c

Kathy Ball · Answer 2

I think it is C because $125 is a 1 time fee. $0.50 however is is the cost each time they want to decorate. and $5.00 is the cost for each shirt. So you add them because they want silk-screened meaning they will pay $5.00 and 0.50 for design together.
