Lucy has $19$ dollars and $23$ cents. She wants to buy as many popsicles as she can with her money. The popsicles are priced at $1$ dollar and $60$ cents each. How many popsicles can she buy?
However, I cannot divide dollars by dollars and cents, so I need to convert both amounts to the same unit. I can either convert everything to dollars or to cents, but I think cents would be easier, since I can avoid decimals. To convert dollars to cents, I need to multiply by 100, since there are 100 cents in a dollar. So, Lucy has $19 \times 100 + 23 = 1923$ cents, and one popsicle costs $1 \times 100 + 60 = 160$ cents. Now I can divide 1923 by 160 to find the number of popsicles she can buy. I can use long division or a calculator to do this, but I will use a calculator to save time. I get 1923 divided by 160 equals 12.01875. However, I cannot buy a fraction of a popsicle, so I need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Lucy can buy 12 popsicles with her money.
