ありがとうございます。
"Is the price for 50 black watches $4250?" を日本語に訳しても「黒の時計50個で合計4250ドルでよいですか?」にはならないと思いますが?原文は、相手が間違ったことを言っている(に違いない)ということが前提になっているのですが?

Thank you for your comment.
I think "よいですか" is more like a Japanese way of mentioning the price. Maybe more polite(?)
But in English, there is no "Is it correct to say $4250 for ~~~ ". It sounds not natural to me........
If you want to make it more polite, maybe you can say "Would the total price be $4250 if I purchase 50 black watches?"

Thank you.

ここの「よいですか?」は「You said it is $4800, but it should be wrong. The correct price should be $4250.」の意味なんですが。あれ?それなら
The price for 50 black watches should be $4250. とすればよかったのかな?

I think it still makes sense if you say "Would the total price be $4250 if I purchase 50 black watches?" or "Is the price for 50 black watches $4250?" even if you knew that the person calculated it wrong.
