Answer 1

To find the shop's total earnings from selling dumplings, we need to multiply the number of plates sold by the price per plate.

The number of plates sold is given as 85,248 dumplings. Since each plate has 12 dumplings, we divide 85,248 by 12 to find the number of plates sold:

85,248 / 12 = 7104 plates

Now, we multiply the number of plates by the price per plate:

7104 plates * $9.89 = $70,337.76

Therefore, the shop's total earnings from selling dumplings is closest to $70,337.76.

None of the provided options match this value.
