A local dumpling shop sold 85,248 dumplings last year. Each plate of dumplings
sells for $9.89, and there are 12 dumplings per plate. Which value best estimates
the shop's total earnings from selling dumplings? (1 point)
To find the shop's total earnings, we can multiply the number of plates sold by the price per plate.
The number of plates sold can be calculated by dividing the total number of dumplings sold by the number of dumplings per plate:
Number of plates sold = Total number of dumplings sold / Number of dumplings per plate
Number of plates sold = 85,248 / 12 = 7,104
The total earnings from selling dumplings can be calculated by multiplying the number of plates sold by the price per plate:
Total earnings = Number of plates sold * Price per plate
Total earnings = 7,104 * $9.89 = $70,304.56
Therefore, the value that best estimates the shop's total earnings from selling dumplings is $70,304.56.
