A candy store sells different types of candy by the ounce red snaps cost 25 cents per ounce and blue tarts cost 36.30 per ounce you decide to buy 8 oz of candy to share with your friends how much more expensive would it be to get a bag of blue tarts instead of bag of red snaps
To find out how much more expensive it would be to get a bag of blue tarts instead of a bag of red snaps, we first need to calculate the cost of 8 oz of each type of candy.
For red snaps:
Cost per ounce = $0.25
Total cost for 8 oz = 8 oz * $0.25/oz = $<<8*0.25=2>>2
For blue tarts:
Cost per ounce = $36.30
Total cost for 8 oz = 8 oz * $36.30/oz = $<<8*36.30=290.40>>290.40
To find the difference in cost, we subtract the cost of red snaps from the cost of blue tarts:
$290.40 - $2 = $<<290.40-2=288.40>>288.40
Therefore, it would be $288.40 more expensive to get a bag of blue tarts instead of a bag of red snaps if you buy 8 oz of candy.
