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 it would be to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps, we need to compare the cost per ounce of each type of candy.
Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, so for 8 ounces, the total cost would be 8 * $0.25 = $<<8*0.25=2>>2.
Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce, so for 8 ounces, the total cost would be 8 * $0.30 = $<<8*0.30=2.4>>2.4.
To find the difference in cost, we subtract the cost of Red Snaps from the cost of Blue Tarts:
$2.4 - $2 = $0.4.
Therefore, it would be $0.4 more expensive 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 a bag of Red Snaps, we need to compare the costs per ounce.
The cost per ounce for Red Snaps is $0.25, and the cost per ounce for Blue Tarts is $0.30.
To find the price difference per ounce, we subtract the cost per ounce of Red Snaps from the cost per ounce of Blue Tarts:
$0.30 - $0.25 = $0.05
The price difference per ounce is $0.05.
Since you want to buy 8 ounces of candy, we multiply the price difference per ounce by 8 to find the total price difference:
$0.05 * 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.
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 first need to calculate the cost of each type of candy for 8 ounces.
For Red Snaps:
Cost per ounce = $0.25
Total cost for 8 ounces = $0.25/ounce × 8 ounces = $2.00
For Blue Tarts:
Cost per ounce = $0.30
Total cost for 8 ounces = $0.30/ounce × 8 ounces = $2.40
Now we can calculate the difference in cost between the two types of candy:
Cost of Blue Tarts - Cost of Red Snaps = $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.
