To find the shop's total earnings from selling dumplings, we need to multiply the number of plates sold by the price per plate.

Number of plates sold = Number of dumplings / Number of dumplings per plate = 85,248 / 12 = 7,104

Total earnings = Number of plates sold * Price per plate = 7,104 * $9.89 = $70,337.56

Therefore, the value that best estimates the shop's total earnings from selling dumplings is $70,337.

No, the correct answer is $70,337. The value of $80,000 is not the closest estimation to the shop's total earnings from selling dumplings.

If we multiply each of the given options by 12 (to account for the number of dumplings per plate) we get:

8000 * 12 = 96,000
80000 * 12 = 960,000
800000 * 12 = 9,600,000
8000000 * 12 = 96,000,000

None of these options are close to the shop's total earnings of $70,337. Therefore, none of these values are accurate estimations of the shop's total earnings.
