Answer 1

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

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

where \( t \) is the number of televisions sold. Plugging in \( t = 12 \):

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

Calculating the multiplication first:

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

Now, adding this to the base salary:

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

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

The correct response is:

**$3,700**
