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 sold = 85,248 dumplings / 12 dumplings per plate = 7104 plates

Total earnings = 7104 plates * $9.89 per plate = $70,384.56

Among the given options, the value that best estimates the shop's total earnings is 80,000.
