Each month Ms. Tanaka is paid a base salary of $2,500 in addition to $100 for each television that she sells. This is modeled by 2.5 + 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. (1 point)
(a) $2,612
(b) 53,700
(c) $31.200
(d) 52.600
To find how much Ms. Tanaka will earn for selling 12 televisions this month, we substitute t = 12 into the expression 2.5 + 100t.
2.5 + 100(12) = 2.5 + 1200 = 1202.5
Therefore, Ms. Tanaka will earn $1202.5 for selling 12 televisions this month.
