To find the price difference between the blue tarts and the red snaps, we need to find the difference in price per ounce and then multiply it by the number of ounces (8).
Red snaps cost $0.25 per ounce.
Blue tarts cost $0.30 per ounce.
The price difference per ounce is $0.30 - $0.25 = $0.05.
To find the total price difference, we multiply the price difference per ounce by the number of ounces:
$0.05 x 8 = $<<0.05*8=0.40>>0.40.
Therefore, it would be $0.40 more expensive to buy a bag of blue tarts instead of a bag of red snaps.
The answer is B. $0.40
