As of my last update, the price of R-12 freon can vary significantly depending on market conditions, availability, and geographic location. Typically, R-12 is more expensive than newer refrigerants due to its phase-out under the Montreal Protocol. Prices can range from $30 to over $100 per pound, but it's essential to check with local suppliers for the most accurate and current pricing.

To determine how many 12-ounce cans of Freon are needed to make 3.5 pounds, first convert the weight to ounces: 3.5 pounds is 56 ounces (since 1 pound equals 16 ounces). Each 12-ounce can contains 12 ounces of Freon, so dividing 56 ounces by 12 ounces per can gives approximately 4.67 cans. Therefore, you would need 5 cans to have enough Freon to exceed 3.5 pounds.
The unit cost would be (12 dollars) / (150 pound) = 0.08 dollars per pound, or could word it as $0.08 per pound, or 8 cents per pound.
