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) Responses $4.40 $4.40 $2.40 $2.40 $0.40 $0.40 $2.00
To calculate the difference in cost, let's first find the cost of 8 ounces of Red Snaps. Since they cost $0.25 per ounce, the cost of 8 ounces would be 8 * $0.25 = $<<8*0.25=2>>2.
Next, let's find the cost of 8 ounces of Blue Tarts. Since they cost $0.30 per ounce, the cost of 8 ounces would be 8 * $0.30 = $<<8*0.30=2.40>>2.40.
The difference in cost between Blue Tarts and Red Snaps 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.
