Answer 1

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

The number of plates sold is 85,248 dumplings / 12 dumplings per plate = 7104 plates of dumplings.

Total earnings = 7104 plates of dumplings * $9.89 per plate = $70,404.96.

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