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.

The number of plates sold is the total number of dumplings sold divided by the number of dumplings per plate: 85,248 dumplings / 12 dumplings per plate = 7104 plates.

Now, we can multiply the number of plates sold by the price per plate: 7104 plates * $9.89 per plate = $70,395.36.

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the shop's total earnings from selling dumplings is $70,395.

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