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?(1 point)
The correct answer is $2.00. To calculate this, you need to find the price difference between the two types of candy. Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce, while Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce. Therefore, the price difference per ounce is $0.30 - $0.25 = $0.05. Since you are buying 8 ounces of candy, the price difference for the entire bag would be $0.05 * 8 = $0.40. However, the question asks for the cost difference, not the price difference, so you need to subtract $0.40 from $2.40 to get the final answer, which is $2.00.
