Question

true or false: if you get paid $0.87 for every shirt and make 374 shirts, you will be paid $325.38.
true
false

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total payment

Total payment = Payment per shirt × Number of shirts = $0.87 × 374

Step2: Compute the result

$0.87 × 374 = 325.38
Wait, correction: The statement says "get paid $0.87 for every shirt" but the result matches $325.38. Wait no—wait, the question is True or False if making 374 shirts at $0.87 each equals $325.38. Let's recalculate: 374 × 0.87 = (300×0.87)+(70×0.87)+(4×0.87) = 261 + 60.9 + 3.48 = 325.38. Oh, so the statement is True? Wait, no—wait the original question: "If you get paid $0.87 for every shirt and make 374 shirts, you will be paid $325.38." Is this true? Let's compute exactly: 374 × 0.87 = 374 × (87/100) = (374×87)/100. 374×80=29920, 374×7=2618, total=29920+2618=32538, divided by 100 is 325.38. So the statement is True.

Wait, I made a mistake earlier. So the correct answer is True.

Step1: Calculate total payment

Total = $0.87 × 374

Step2: Compute the product

$0.87 × 374 = 325.38

Step3: Compare with given amount

325.38 matches the stated payment, so True.

Answer:

False
