Answer 1

To find Ms. Tanaka's total earnings for selling 12 televisions, we can use the given formula:

\[ \text{Total Earnings} = 2,500 + 100t \]

where \( t \) is the number of televisions sold.

Substituting \( t = 12 \):

\[ \text{Total Earnings} = 2,500 + 100 \times 12 \]

Calculating \( 100 \times 12 \):

\[ 100 \times 12 = 1,200 \]

Now, add this to the base salary:

\[ \text{Total Earnings} = 2,500 + 1,200 = 3,700 \]

So, Ms. Tanaka will earn $3,700 for selling 12 televisions this month.

The correct response is:

$3,700
