The correct answer is $0.40.
To calculate the cost difference, we need to find the cost of 8 ounces of Red Snaps and the cost of 8 ounces of Blue Tarts.
For the Red Snaps:
8 ounces x $0.25/ounce = $2.00
For the Blue Tarts:
8 ounces x $0.30/ounce = $2.40
The cost difference between the two is:
$2.40 - $2.00 = $0.40
To determine 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 price per ounce between the two types of candy.
Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, and Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce, so the difference in price per ounce is:
$0.30 - $0.25 = $0.05
Since you are buying 8 ounces of candy, the total difference in price would be:
$0.05 x 8 = $0.40
Therefore, it would cost $0.40 more to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps.
To find out how much more expensive it would be to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of Red Snaps, we need to compare the prices of the two candies per ounce and calculate the cost difference.
Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, and Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce.
Since you want to buy 8 ounces of candy, we can calculate the cost of Red Snaps as follows:
Cost of Red Snaps = $0.25 per ounce * 8 ounces = $2.00
Similarly, we can calculate the cost of Blue Tarts:
Cost of Blue Tarts = $0.30 per ounce * 8 ounces = $2.40
To find the difference in cost, we subtract the cost of Red Snaps from the cost of Blue Tarts:
Difference in cost = Cost of Blue Tarts - Cost of Red Snaps
Therefore, the answer is $2.40 - $2.00 = $0.40.
So, it would be $0.40 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps.
