The total earnings from selling dumplings can be calculated by multiplying the number of plates sold by the price per plate.
Since there are 12 dumplings per plate and 85,248 dumplings sold in total, the number of plates sold can be calculated as 85,248 dumplings / 12 dumplings per plate = 7104 plates.
The price per plate is $9.89.
Therefore, the total earnings can be calculated as 7104 plates * $9.89 per plate = $70,340.56.
The value that best estimates the shop's total earnings from selling dumplings is 80,000.
