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.
A. $3700
B. $2600
C. $2612
D. $31, 200
To evaluate the expression 2,500 + 100t for t = 12, we substitute t = 12 into the expression:
2,500 + 100(12)
= 2,500 + 1,200
= 3,700
Therefore, Ms Tanaka will earn $3,700 for selling 12 televisions this month.
The answer is A. $3700.
