Using CONVERT function

I'm getting the following error:

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Disallowed implicit
conversion from data type varchar to data type money, table
'bill.dbo.cart' , column 'price'. Use the CONVERT function to run this
query.

Does anyone understand this function and how to use it? I'm trying to
pull a quantity value from one table, multiply it times a price to get
a total cost, and then stick the product into the new cart table.
However, it seems like the quantity, which was a varchar, but has
since been converted to a numeric, is still being viewed as a varchar.
Can someone help me on this?

Thanks a million,

Bill
