Bill is trying to decide whether to make blueberry muffins or raspberry muffins. Blueberries cost $5.00 per 6 ounce carton and raspberries cost $3.00 per 8 ounce carton. If Bill is going to make 4 batches of muffins, and each batch takes 12 ounces of fruit, how much money would he save by using raspberries instead of blueberries? Let's think step by step and output the final answer after "####".

First find how many ounces of fruit Bill will need total: 12 ounces/batch * 4 batches = <<12*4=48>>48 ounces
Then find how many cartons of blueberries Bill would need: 48 ounces / 6 ounces/carton = <<48/6=8>>8 cartons
Then multiply that number by the cost per carton to find the total cost of the blueberries: 8 cartons * $5/carton = $<<8*5=40>>40
Then find how many cartons of raspberries Bill would need: 48 ounces / 8 ounces/carton = <<48/8=6>>6 cartons
Then multiply that number by the cost per carton to find the total cost of the raspberries: 6 cartons * $3/carton = $<<6*3=18>>18
Then subtract the cost of the raspberries from the cost of the blueberries to find the difference: $40 - $18 = $<<40-18=22>>22
