To determine how many games Shauna can purchase, we need to divide the total amount of money she has by the price of each game.

Shauna has $$ \$ 23 $$ and each game costs $$ \$ 5 $$.

We can calculate the number of games she can buy using the following formula:

$$
\text{Number of games} = \frac{\text{Total money}}{\text{Price per game}} = \frac{23}{5}
$$

Now, performing the division:

$$
\frac{23}{5} = 4.6
$$

Since Shauna cannot purchase a fraction of a game, we round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, she can purchase 4 games.

To confirm, we can calculate the total cost for 4 games:

$$
4 \text{ games} \times 5 \text{ dollars/game} = 20 \text{ dollars}
$$

This is within her budget of $$ \$ 23 $$. If she tried to buy 5 games:

$$
5 \text{ games} \times 5 \text{ dollars/game} = 25 \text{ dollars}
$$

This exceeds her budget.

Thus, Shauna can purchase **4 games**.
