The total earnings from selling dumplings can be estimated by multiplying the number of dumplings 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
= $70,328.56

Therefore, the best estimate for the shop’s total earnings from selling dumplings is 800,000 (second response).
