Each month Ms. Tanaka is paid a base salary of $2509 in addition to $100 for each television that she sells. This is modeled by $2500+100t, where t represents the number of televisions. Evaluate for t=12 to find how much Ms Tanaka will earn for selling 12 televisions this month
A. $3700
B. $2600
C. $31200
D. $2612
To find out how much Ms. Tanaka will earn for selling 12 televisions this month, we plug in t = 12 into the given model:
Salary = $2500 + $100 * t
Substitute t with 12:
Salary = $2500 + $100 * 12
Salary = $2500 + $1200
Now, add $2500 and $1200:
Salary = $3700
So, for selling 12 televisions this month, Ms. Tanaka will earn $3700.
The correct answer is:
A. $3700
