25

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, we need to simplify this. we have a ratio of 80:125.

As these numbers end in either 0 or 5, we know they are divisible by 5.

By dividing these by five, our ratio becomes 16:25.

As we have 16 jackets, we know we must need to sell 25 jackets to maintain the ratio.
