First, we begin with Claire's total amount of money, which is $7.50. After purchasing a chocolate bar for $1.50, we find out how much money she has left.
\[
\text{Remaining money} = \text{Total money} - \text{Cost of chocolate bar} = 7.50 - 1.50 = 6.00
\]
Next, Claire spends the remaining $6.00 on lollipops that cost $0.75 each. To find out how many lollipops she can buy, we divide the amount of money she has left by the cost of each lollipop:
\[
\text{Number of lollipops} = \frac{\text{Remaining money}}{\text{Cost of one lollipop}} = \frac{6.00}{0.75}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
6.00 \div 0.75 = 8
\]
Therefore, Claire bought \( \boxed{8} \) lollipops.
\[
\text{Remaining money} = \text{Total money} - \text{Cost of chocolate bar} = 7.50 - 1.50 = 6.00
