1. Break Down the Problem

To determine how many items Elena can buy, we need to divide her total money by the cost of each item.

2. Relevant Concepts

We will use the formula: Number of items=Total moneyCost per item \text{Number of items} = \frac{\text{Total money}}{\text{Cost per item}}

3. Analysis and Detail

Substituting the given values into the formula: Number of items=375.6015.75 \text{Number of items} = \frac{375.60}{15.75}

Now, we perform the division:

  1. Calculate 375.60÷15.75375.60 \div 15.75.

4. Verify and Summarize

Using a calculator, we find: Number of items=23.84 \text{Number of items} = 23.84 Since Elena cannot buy a fraction of an item, we take the whole number: Number of items=23 \text{Number of items} = 23
