A candy store sells different types of candy by 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?
A. $4.40
B. $0.40
C. $2.40
D. $2.00
To find the price difference between the blue tarts and the red snaps, we need to find the difference in price per ounce and then multiply it by the number of ounces (8).
Red snaps cost $0.25 per ounce.
Blue tarts cost $0.30 per ounce.
The price difference per ounce is $0.30 - $0.25 = $0.05.
To find the total price difference, we multiply the price difference per ounce by the number of ounces:
$0.05 x 8 = $<<0.05*8=0.40>>0.40.
Therefore, it would be $0.40 more expensive to buy a bag of blue tarts instead of a bag of red snaps.
The answer is B. $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 total cost difference.
The cost of 8 ounces of red snaps would be 8 * $0.25 = $2.00.
The cost of 8 ounces of blue tarts would be 8 * $0.30 = $2.40.
The difference in cost would be $2.40 - $2.00 = $0.40.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. $0.40.
To determine the difference in cost, we need to calculate the cost of buying 8 ounces of each candy type and then compare the two.
For red snaps:
8 ounces * $0.25/ounce = $2.00
For blue tarts:
8 ounces * $0.30/ounce = $2.40
The cost difference is:
$2.40 - $2.00 = $0.40
Therefore, the correct answer is B. $0.40.
