A candy store sells different types of candy by the ounce. Red snaps cost 0.25 per ounce, and Blue tarts cost 0.30 per ounce. You decide to buy 8 ounces of candy to share with your friends. How much more expensive would it be to get a bag of blue tarts instead of a bag of red snaps?

Question

A. 2.00
B. 0.40
C.2.40
D.4.40

Answer 1

The cost of buying 8 ounces of red snaps is 8 * 0.25 = $2.00.
The cost of buying 8 ounces of blue tarts is 8 * 0.30 = $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.
The correct answer is B. 0.40.
