A candy store sells different kinds of candy by the ounce. Red Snaps costs $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?
$4.40
$2.40
$2.00
$0.40
To find the cost difference, we need to calculate the cost of 8 ounces of each type of candy.
For Red Snaps: $0.25/ounce * 8 ounces = $<<0.25*8=2>>2.00
For Blue Tarts: $0.30/ounce * 8 ounces = $<<0.30*8=2.40>>2.40
The cost difference would be $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.
