Question

Options:
$0.40
$2.40
$2.00
$4.40

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the cost of buying 8 ounces of red snaps and the cost of buying 8 ounces of blue tears.

The cost of buying 8 ounces of red snaps is 8 ounces * $0.25/ounce = $2.00.

The cost of buying 8 ounces of blue tears is 8 ounces * $0.30/ounce = $2.40.

The difference in cost between buying blue tears instead of red snaps is $2.40 - $2.00 = $<<2.4-2=0.40>>0.40.

Therefore, it would be $0.40 more expensive to get a bag of blue tears instead of a bag of red snaps.

The correct option is $0.40.
