To find the amount Ms. Tanaka will earn for selling 12 televisions this month, we substitute t = 12 into the expression 2,500 + 100t:
2,500 + 100(12)
= 2,500 + 1,200
= 3,700
Therefore, Ms. Tanaka will earn $3,700 for selling 12 televisions this month.
The correct answer is:
$3,700
To evaluate the expression for t = 12, substitute 12 into the expression 2,500 + 100t:
2,500 + 100(12) = 2,500 + 1,200 = 3,700
Therefore, Ms. Tanaka will earn $3,700 for selling 12 televisions this month.
To evaluate the algebraic expression, you substitute the given value of "t" into the expression and simplify the expression.
The expression given is 2,500 + 100t, where "t" represents the number of televisions.
To find how much Ms. Tanaka will earn for selling 12 televisions this month, we substitute t = 12 into the expression:
2,500 + 100(12)
Now we can simplify the expression:
2,500 + 1,200
Adding these two values together, we get:
3,700
Therefore, Ms. Tanaka will earn $3,700 for selling 12 televisions this month.
So the correct answer is $3,700.
