Claire starts with $7.50. After buying a chocolate bar for $1.50, we can determine how much money she has left:
\[
\text{Remaining money} = 7.50 - 1.50 = 6.00
\]
Next, she spends the remaining $6.00 on lollipops, which 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:
\[
\text{Number of lollipops} = \frac{6.00}{0.75}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Number of lollipops} = 6.00 \div 0.75 = 8
\]
Thus, Claire bought \(\boxed{8}\) lollipops.
\[
\text{Remaining money} = 7.50 - 1.50 = 6.00
\]
Next, she spends the remaining $6.00 on lollipops, which 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:
