Answer 2

To calculate the cost difference, we need to determine the price for each bag of candy.

Red Snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, so 8 ounces of Red Snaps will cost:

$0.25/ounce * 8 ounces = $2.00

Blue Tarts cost $0.30 per ounce, so 8 ounces of Blue Tarts will cost:

$0.30/ounce * 8 ounces = $2.40

Therefore, it would be $2.40 - $2.00 = $0.40 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps.

Answer 3

The answer is:

$0.40
