Answer 1

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 calculate the total cost for each type of candy for 8 ounces.

1. Cost of Red Snaps: \[ \text{Cost of Red Snaps} = 8 , \text{ounces} \times $0.25/\text{ounce} = $2.00 \]

2. Cost of Blue Tarts: \[ \text{Cost of Blue Tarts} = 8 , \text{ounces} \times $0.30/\text{ounce} = $2.40 \]

3. Difference in cost: \[ \text{Difference} = \text{Cost of Blue Tarts} - \text{Cost of Red Snaps} = $2.40 - $2.00 = $0.40 \]

The answer is $0.40.
