  1. To find out how many textbooks the school district can buy and how much money will be left over, you can follow these steps:

    1. Determine the number of textbooks that can be purchased by dividing the total amount of money by the cost of each textbook:

    [

    text{Number of Textbooks} = frac{184,599}{38} approx 4,866.3

    ]

    Since the district can only buy whole textbooks, they can purchase 4,866 textbooks.

    2. Calculate the total cost for 4,866 textbooks:

    [

    text{Total Cost} = 4,866 times 38 = 184,868

    ]

    3. Subtract the total cost from the initial budget to find the leftover money:

    [

    text{Leftover Money} = 184,599 – 184,868 = -269

    ]

    However, we need to correct this because we only had 184,599 to spend.

    The calculation for spending money:

    [

    text{Total spent on 4,866 textbooks} = 4,866 text{ textbooks} times 38 = 184,868

    ]

    The mistake here indicates the district cannot buy that many textbooks, as it exceeds the budget.

    So:
    1. Calculate the maximum number of textbooks that can be bought:

    [
