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 find out how much more expensive Blue Tarts would be compared to Red Snaps, we need to calculate the cost difference per ounce between the two types of candy.
The Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, and the Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce.
The cost difference per ounce is $0.30 - $0.25 = $0.05.
You decide to buy 8 ounces of candy, so the cost difference for the whole bag would be $0.05 * 8 = $<<0.05*8=0.40>>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 calculate the price difference between a bag of Blue Tarts and a bag of Red Snaps, we need to find the total cost for each candy type.
Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, so for 8 ounces, the total cost would be:
8 ounces * $0.25/ounce = $2.00
Blue Tarts, on the other hand, cost $0.30 per ounce, so for 8 ounces, the total cost would be:
8 ounces * $0.30/ounce = $2.40
To find out how much more expensive it is to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of Red Snaps, 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 Red Snaps.
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 calculate the cost difference between the two types of candy.
First, let's find the cost of 8 ounces of Red Snaps:
Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, so the total cost of 8 ounces can be calculated as:
Cost of Red Snaps = 8 ounces * $0.25/ounce
Next, let's find the cost of 8 ounces of Blue Tarts:
Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce, so the total cost of 8 ounces can be calculated as:
Cost of Blue Tarts = 8 ounces * $0.30/ounce
Finally, we can find the difference in cost between the two types of candy by subtracting the cost of Red Snaps from the cost of Blue Tarts:
Cost difference = Cost of Blue Tarts - Cost of Red Snaps
By following these steps, we can find the exact amount by which the bag of Blue Tarts is more expensive than the bag of Red Snaps.
