The correct answer is $0.40.
Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, so for 8 ounces, it would be $0.25 x 8 = $2.00.
Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce, so for 8 ounces, it would be $0.30 x 8 = $2.40.
To find the difference, you 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.
To find out how much more expensive it is to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps, we need to compare the prices per ounce of each candy.
The price per ounce for Red Snaps is $0.25.
The price per ounce for Blue Tarts is $0.30.
Now, we need to calculate the total cost for each candy.
For Red Snaps:
Price per ounce * Number of ounces = $0.25 * 8 = $2.00
For Blue Tarts:
Price per ounce * Number of ounces = $0.30 * 8 = $2.40
To find the difference, we 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.
To figure 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 calculate the cost difference between the two candies.
The cost of Red Snaps is $0.25 per ounce, so for 8 ounces, the total cost would be 8 * $0.25 = $2.
The cost of Blue Tarts is $0.30 per ounce, so for 8 ounces, the total cost would be 8 * $0.30 = $2.40.
To find the cost difference, we subtract the cost of Red Snaps from the cost of Blue Tarts: $2.40 - $2 = $0.40.
Therefore, it would be $0.40 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps.
