1 answer

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.
