18 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Marginal cost can be defined as the additional cost to produce every additional unit of a certain good. In mathematical terms;

Marginal cost = change in cost / change in quantity

For seven jackets, we have to find the difference between the cost of seven jackets and the cost of six jackets as follows

$101 - $83 = $18

Since the change in quantity is one, our marginal cost comes to $18.
