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 2,500 + 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.
Options:
$2,612
$2,600
$3,700
$31,200
To find out how much Ms. Tanaka will earn for selling 12 televisions this month, we need to substitute t = 12 into the equation 2,500 + 100t:
Earnings = 2,500 + 100(12)
Earnings = 2,500 + 1,200
Earnings = 3,700
Therefore, Ms. Tanaka will earn $3,700 for selling 12 televisions this month.
The correct option is $3,700.
