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.

Number of plates = Number of dumplings / Number of dumplings per plate = 85,248 / 12 = 7104

Total earnings = Number of plates sold x Price per plate = 7104 x $9.89 = $70,341.36

Therefore, the value that best estimates the shop's total earnings from selling dumplings is 80,000.
