Making sure I haven't totally gone insane

I'm trying to find the price of elemental selenium per gram for a chem project and all i can find is the price per pound ($300 per pound)
Now, I know how to convert it from pounds to grams:
1lb = 373.24800000000004 grams = 373.248 g

It's from here on that I think I'm making stuff up:
in order to get the cost for 1 gram:
$300 / 373.248g = $0.80 per gram

Is that what I'm supposed to do? Or do i reverse it to get $1.24 per gram?
