To calculate the difference in cost between buying Red Snaps and Blue Tarts, we need to calculate the cost of 8 ounces of each candy.
The cost of 8 ounces of Red Snaps is:
8 ounces * $0.25 per ounce = $2.00
The cost of 8 ounces of Blue Tarts is:
8 ounces * $0.30 per ounce = $2.40
Therefore, the difference in cost between buying Red Snaps and Blue Tarts is:
$2.40 - $2.00 = $0.40
So, it would be $0.40 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps.
To calculate the cost difference, we need to find the difference in price per ounce between the Blue Tarts and Red Snaps.
Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce, while Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce.
The difference in price is $0.30 - $0.25 = $0.05.
Since you are buying 8 ounces of candy, the cost difference would be 8 ounces * $0.05 per ounce = $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 determine the price difference between getting a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps, we can calculate the difference in cost per ounce and multiply it by the quantity of candy bought.
First, let's calculate the cost of 8 ounces of Red Snaps:
8 ounces * $0.25 per ounce = $2.00
Next, let's calculate the cost of 8 ounces of Blue Tarts:
8 ounces * $0.30 per ounce = $2.40
To find the price difference, subtract the cost of Red Snaps from the cost of Blue Tarts:
$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. So the correct answer is $0.40.
