To find out how much one goldfish costs, we can divide the total cost of the three goldfish by the number of goldfish.
The total cost for 3 goldfish is $1.56.
To find the cost of one goldfish, we perform the following calculation:
\[
\text{Cost of one goldfish} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of goldfish}} = \frac{1.56}{3}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\frac{1.56}{3} = 0.52
\]
Thus, the cost for one goldfish is **$0.52**.
So the correct answer is **C. $0.52**.
