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 = Number of dumplings sold / Number of dumplings per plate = 85,248 / 12 = 7104
Total earnings = Number of plates sold * Price per plate = 7104 * $9.89 = $70,308.96
The value that best estimates the shop's total earnings is 80,000.
