102 textbooks

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question,

The total amount in donations = $4,111 . They plan to use the money to buy new social studies textbooks. Each textbook costs $40.

If :

$40 = 1 textbook

Cross Multiply

40 × x textbooks = $4,111 × 1

x = $4,111/40

x = 102.775 textbooks

Since the number of textbooks is whole number and it cannot in be decimal, the number of textbooks they can purchase is 102 textbooks
