The total number of plates sold can be found by dividing the total number of dumplings sold by the number of dumplings per plate.
Total Number of Plates = 85,248 dumplings / 12 dumplings per plate = 7104 plates
The total earnings can be found by multiplying the number of plates by the price per plate.
Total Earnings = 7104 plates * $9.89 per plate = $70314.56
So, the value that best estimates the shop's total earnings is $70,314.56, which is closest to 80,000.
