    The learning rate applies to the cumulative average unit time every time cumulative output doubles.. So, as cumulative output goes 1, 2, 4. 8, cumulative average unit time will go

    100
    100 x 0.75 = 75
    75 x 0.75 = 56.25
    56.25 x 0.75 = 42.1875

    If the cumulative average unit time for 8 is 42.1875, the total time for the 8 units is 8 x 42.1875 = 337.5.

    The first took 100 so the next 7 must take 237.5
