If he is selling shovels at $19 each, the answer of $153 would be incorrect. If you take $153 and divide that by 8 (shovels) you will get each shovel being a price of $19.125 each.
The overall answer of $153 could be reasonable but the overall price from selling 8 shovels will actually be $154 not $153.
