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 calculate the cost of buying Red Snaps, multiply the cost per ounce ($0.25) by the number of ounces (8): $0.25/oz * 8 oz = $<<0.25*8=2>>2.
To calculate the cost of buying Blue Tarts, multiply the cost per ounce ($0.30) by the number of ounces (8): $0.30/oz * 8 oz = $<<0.30*8=2.40>>2.40.
The cost difference between Blue Tarts and Red Snaps is $2.40 - $2 = $<<2.40-2=0.40>>0.40. Answer: \boxed{0.40}.
To find out how much more expensive it would be to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps, we need to compare the prices per ounce of both candies.
- Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce.
- Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce.
Since you want to buy 8 ounces of candy, let's calculate the cost for each type of candy:
- Red Snaps: 8 ounces * $0.25 per ounce = $2.00
- Blue Tarts: 8 ounces * $0.30 per ounce = $2.40
Now, let's find the difference in cost:
- $2.40 (Blue Tarts) - $2.00 (Red Snaps) = $0.40
Therefore, it would be $0.40 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps for 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 first need to calculate the cost of buying 8 ounces of Red Snaps and then the cost of buying 8 ounces of Blue Tarts.
The cost of 1 ounce of Red Snaps is $0.25, so the cost of 8 ounces of Red Snaps would be:
8 ounces * $0.25 per ounce = $2.00
Similarly, the cost of 1 ounce of Blue Tarts is $0.30, so the cost of 8 ounces of Blue Tarts would be:
8 ounces * $0.30 per ounce = $2.40
Now, to find the difference in price, subtract the cost of Red Snaps from the cost of Blue Tarts:
$2.40 - $2.00 = $0.40
Therefore, it would be $0.40 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps.
