Answer 1

To find out how much Ms. Tanaka will earn for selling 12 televisions, you can use the formula provided:

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

where \( t \) is the number of televisions sold. In this case, \( t = 12 \).

Now, substitute \( t = 12 \) into the formula:

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

Calculating the second term:

\[ 100(12) = 1,200 \]

Now put it all together:

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

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