A candy store sells different types of candy by the ounce l. Red snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, and blue tears cost $.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 bad of blue tarts instead of a bad of red snaps?
Options:
$0.40
$2.40
$2.00
$4.40
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.
To calculate the price difference, we need to determine the cost of each type of candy and then compare them.
Red snaps cost $0.25 per ounce, so for 8 ounces, the cost would be 8 * $0.25 = $2.00.
Blue tears cost $0.30 per ounce, so for 8 ounces, the cost would be 8 * $0.30 = $2.40.
To find the price difference, we subtract the cost of the red snaps from the cost of the blue tears: $2.40 - $2.00 = $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
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the cost difference between buying a bag of blue tarts and a bag of red snaps. Here's how you can do it:
1. Calculate the cost of 8 ounces of red snaps:
Red snaps cost $0.25 per ounce.
Therefore, the cost of 8 ounces of red snaps is 8 * $0.25 = $2.
2. Calculate the cost of 8 ounces of blue tarts:
Blue tarts cost $0.30 per ounce.
Therefore, the cost of 8 ounces of blue tarts is 8 * $0.30 = $2.40.
3. Find the cost difference:
To calculate the cost difference, subtract the cost of red snaps from the cost of blue tarts:
$2.40 - $2 = $0.40.
Therefore, the cost difference between buying a bag of blue tarts instead of a bag of red snaps is $0.40.
The correct option is:
$0.40
