Answer 1

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

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

where \( t \) is the number of televisions sold.

Substituting \( t = 12 \):

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

Calculating \( 100 \times 12 \):

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

Now add this to her base salary:

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

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

The correct answer is $3,700.
