To find the price of one cubic centimeter (cm³) of mercury, we need to convert the density of mercury from grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³) to the price per gram.

Given: density of mercury = 13.534 g/cm³

To find the price of one cubic centimeter of mercury, we can use the given price of one pound of mercury ($151.50) and the conversion factors:

1 pound = 453.592 grams
1 gram = $4.39 x 10^-3

First, let's find the price of one gram of mercury:
Price per gram of mercury = $151.50/453.592 grams
Price per gram of mercury ≈ $0.334

Next, let's find the price of one cubic centimeter (cm³) of mercury:
Price per cubic centimeter of mercury = Price per gram of mercury x Density of mercury
Price per cubic centimeter of mercury ≈ $0.334 x 13.534
Price per cubic centimeter of mercury ≈ $4.52

Now, to find the price of one cubic inch (in³) of mercury, we need to convert the volume from cubic centimeters to cubic inches.

1 cm³ = 0.0610237 in³

Price per cubic inch of mercury = Price per cubic centimeter of mercury x Conversion factor (cm³ to in³)
Price per cubic inch of mercury ≈ $4.52 x 0.0610237
Price per cubic inch of mercury ≈ $0.28

Therefore, the price of one cubic inch of mercury is approximately $0.28.
