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

Number of plates sold = Number of dumplings sold / Number of dumplings per plate = 85,248 dumplings / 12 dumplings per plate = 7,104 plates.

Total earnings = Number of plates sold * Price per plate = 7,104 plates * $9.89 per plate = $70,285.76.

The shop's total earnings from selling dumplings was approximately $70,285.76
