A school district has $184,599 to spend on new textbooks. Each textbook costs $38. If the district buys as many textbooks as it can, how much money will be left over?

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:
