First, we need to calculate how much money Claire has left after buying the chocolate bar.
1. Claire starts with $7.50 and spends $1.50 on a chocolate bar:
\[
7.50 - 1.50 = 6.00
\]
Now, Claire has $6.00 remaining.
2. Next, we find out how many lollipops she can buy with the remaining $6.00. Each lollipop costs $0.75, so we divide the amount of money she has left by the price of one lollipop:
\[
\frac{6.00}{0.75} = 8
\]
Hence, Claire can buy \(8\) lollipops.
The answer is:
8
