A candy store sells different types of candy by the ounce. Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, and Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce. You decide to buy 8 ounces of candy to share with your friends. How much more expensive would it be to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps?
To buy 8 ounces of Red Snaps, the price would be 8 ounces * $0.25/ounce = $<<8*0.25=2>>2.
To buy 8 ounces of Blue Tarts, the price would be 8 ounces * $0.30/ounce = $<<8*0.30=2.40>>2.40.
Therefore, it would be $2.40 - $2 = $<<2.40-2=0.40>>0.40 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps. Answer: \boxed{0.40}.
To calculate the price difference between a bag of Blue Tarts and Red Snaps, we need to find the price difference per ounce and then multiply it by the number of ounces.
The price of Red Snaps is $0.25 per ounce, and the price of Blue Tarts is $0.30 per ounce.
The price difference per ounce is:
$0.30 - $0.25 = $0.05
Now, we need to multiply the price difference per ounce by the number of ounces you want to buy, which is 8.
Price difference = price difference per ounce * number of ounces
Price difference = $0.05 * 8
Price difference = $0.40
Therefore, it would be $0.40 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps when buying 8 ounces of candy.
To find out how much more expensive it would be to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of Red Snaps, we need to calculate the difference in their prices per ounce and then multiply it by the total number of ounces.
The price of Red Snaps is $0.25 per ounce, while the price of Blue Tarts is $0.30 per ounce. The price difference per ounce is $0.30 - $0.25 = $0.05.
Since you want to buy 8 ounces of candy, multiply the price difference per ounce by the number of ounces: $0.05 x 8 = $0.40.
Therefore, it would be $0.40 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps.
