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 need to compare the cost per ounce of each type of candy.
Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, so for 8 ounces, the total cost would be 8 * $0.25 = $<<8*0.25=2>>2.
Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce, so for 8 ounces, the total cost would be 8 * $0.30 = $<<8*0.30=2.4>>2.4.
To find the difference in cost, we subtract the cost of Red Snaps from the cost of Blue Tarts:
$2.4 - $2 = $0.4.
Therefore, it would be $0.4 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps.
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
