Answer 1

To calculate how much more expensive it would be to get a bag of Blue Tarts instead of a bag of Red Snaps, we need to find the total cost of each type of candy for 8 ounces.

Cost of Red Snaps:

• Cost per ounce = $0.25
• Total for 8 ounces = 8 ounces × $0.25/ounce = $2.00

Cost of Blue Tarts:

• Cost per ounce = $0.30
• Total for 8 ounces = 8 ounces × $0.30/ounce = $2.40

Difference in cost:

• Difference = Cost of Blue Tarts - Cost of Red Snaps
• Difference = $2.40 - $2.00 = $0.40

So, 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.
