Answer 1

To find Ms. Tanaka's earnings for selling 12 televisions, we can evaluate the expression \(2,500 + 100t\) with \(t = 12\).

Substituting \(t = 12\):

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

Calculating the multiplication:

\[ 100(12) = 1,200 \]

Now, add this to the base salary:

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

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