The cost of 8 ounces of Red Snaps is 8 * $0.25 = $<<8*0.25=2>>2.
The cost of 8 ounces of Blue Tarts is 8 * $0.30 = $<<8*0.30=2.40>>2.40.
Thus, it would be $2.40 - $2 = $<<2.40-2=0.40>>0.40 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps. 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 calculate the cost difference between the two options.
First, let's calculate the cost of 8 ounces of Red Snaps. Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, so multiplying the price per ounce by the number of ounces gives us:
Cost of Red Snaps = $0.25/ounce * 8 ounces = $2.00
Now, let's calculate the cost of 8 ounces of Blue Tarts. Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce, so multiplying the price per ounce by the number of ounces gives us:
Cost of Blue Tarts = $0.30/ounce * 8 ounces = $2.40
To find the cost difference, we subtract the cost of Red Snaps from the cost of Blue Tarts:
Cost difference = 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.
To compare the prices, we need to calculate the cost of getting 8 ounces of candy for each type.
For Red Snaps:
Cost per ounce = $0.25
Total cost for 8 ounces = $0.25 x 8 = $2
For Blue Tarts:
Cost per ounce = $0.30
Total cost for 8 ounces = $0.30 x 8 = $2.40
To calculate the price 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.
