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)
• $2.40
• $4.40
• $2.00
• $0.40
To find out how much more expensive it would be to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of Red Snaps, we need to calculate the cost difference.
The cost of Red Snaps for 8 ounces is: 8 * $0.25 = $<<8*0.25=2>>2.
The cost of Blue Tarts for 8 ounces is: 8 * $0.30 = $<<8*0.30=2.4>>2.4.
The cost difference is: $2.40 - $2 = $<<2.40-2=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. So the answer is $0.40.
