To calculate the cost of the Red Snaps, multiply the cost per ounce ($0.25) by the number of ounces (8): $0.25/ounce * 8 ounces = $<<0.25*8=2.00>>2.00.
To calculate the cost of the Blue Tarts, multiply the cost per ounce ($0.30) by the number of ounces (8): $0.30/ounce * 8 ounces = $<<0.30*8=2.40>>2.40.
The difference in cost between the Blue Tarts and Red Snaps is $2.40 - $2.00 = $<<2.40-2.00=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.
The correct answer is $0.40.
