Troy ounces are 10 to the pound. If you only need a little silver, do
what the wet plate collodion guys do, but a silver coin, a "melt grade"
coin will do, react it with nitric acid to make your own silver nitrate.
(Do not try this at home unless you know what you're doing.)

Most recent price is $17.48/ounce. This price is not realistic as the
silver and gold markets are heavily manipulated by governments and very
large banks.
Realistically, you should expect to pay around $18,400 for 10 100-ounce*
silver bars. I cannot imagine a large manufacturer buying silver in
smaller lots. The smaller the lot, the greater the price. OTOH, if you
are trying to buy tons of the stuff, the price can be double this.
7.5 grams is about 1/4 ounce, so the silver cost in the formula Richard
gave should be around $4.60.
