To find out how much more expensive it is to buy Blue Tarts compared to Red Snaps, we first need to calculate the total cost for each type of candy.
-
Cost of Red Snaps:
- Price per ounce: $0.25
- Amount bought: 8 ounces
- Total cost for Red Snaps = 8 ounces × $0.25/ounce = $2.00
-
Cost of Blue Tarts:
- Price per ounce: $0.30
- Amount bought: 8 ounces
- Total cost for Blue Tarts = 8 ounces × $0.30/ounce = $2.40
-
Difference in cost:
- Difference = Total cost of Blue Tarts - Total cost of Red Snaps
- Difference = $2.40 - $2.00 = $0.40
Therefore, it would be $0.40 more expensive to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps.
The correct response is $0.40.
