Answer 1

To find how much Ms. Tanaka will earn for selling 12 televisions, we can plug \( t = 12 \) into the equation \( 2,500 + 100t \).

Calculating it step by step:

1. Substitute \( t = 12 \) into the equation:
\[
2,500 + 100(12)
\]

2. Calculate \( 100(12) \):
\[
100 \times 12 = 1,200
\]

3. Now add this to the base salary:
\[
2,500 + 1,200 = 3,700
\]

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

The correct response is:
**$3,700**
