To find the shop's total earnings from selling dumplings, we need to multiply the number of plates of dumplings sold by the price per plate.
Since there are 12 dumplings per plate, the number of plates sold would be:
85,248 dumplings / 12 dumplings per plate = 7104 plates
Now, multiplying the number of plates by the price per plate:
7104 plates * $9.89 per plate = $70,311.36
Therefore, the best estimate for the shop's total earnings from selling dumplings is approximately $70,311, which is not one of the options given.
