Answer 1

To find out how much Ms. Tanaka will earn for selling 12 televisions this month, we can use the formula provided:

\[ \text{Earnings} = 2,500 + 100t \]

Where \( t \) represents the number of televisions sold.

Plugging in \( t = 12 \):

\[ \text{Earnings} = 2,500 + 100 \times 12 \]

Calculating the variable part:

\[ 100 \times 12 = 1,200 \]

Now, substituting back into the equation:

\[ \text{Earnings} = 2,500 + 1,200 = 3,700 \]

Thus, Ms. Tanaka will earn $3,700 for selling 12 televisions this month.
