Answer 1

To determine how much more expensive it would be to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps, we can calculate the cost difference per ounce and then multiply it by the total number of ounces.

The cost of Red Snaps per ounce is $0.25 and the cost of Blue Tarts per ounce is $0.30.

The cost difference per ounce would be $0.30 - $0.25 = $0.05.

Thus, the total cost difference for 8 ounces would be $0.05 * 8 = $0.40.

Therefore, the correct answer is $0.40.
