Answer 1

To find out how much Ms. Tanaka will earn for selling 12 televisions this month, we substitute t = 12 into the expression 2,500 + 100t.

Evaluating the expression:

2,500 + 100(12) = 2,500 + 1,200 = 3,700

Therefore, Ms. Tanaka will earn $3,700 for selling 12 televisions this month. The correct answer is option C.
