Answer:the cost of each dark chocolate truffle is $6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent the cost of each white chocolate truffle.

Let D represent the cost of each dark chocolate truffle.

Four white chocolate truffles (W) cost the same as three dark chocolate truffles (D). This means that

4W = 3D

If the parent bought 3 white chocolate truffles(W) and 6 dark chocolate truffles (D), and spent $49.50. It means that

3W + 6D = 49.5 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting W = 3D/4 into into equation 1, it becomes

3(3D/4) + 6D = 49.5

2.25D + 6D = 49.5

8.25D = 49.5

D = 49.5/8.25 = 6

Substituting D = 6 into

W = 3 × 6/4 = 4.5

Answer:

Each dark chocolate tuffle was $6.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

Four white chocolate truffles (W) cost the same as three dark chocolate truffles (D).

So 4W = 3D

The parent bought 3 white chocolate truffles(W) and 6 dark chocolate truffles (D), and spent $49.50.

3W + 6D = 49.50

4W = 3D

So

D = \frac{4W}{3}

3W + 6D = 49.50

3W + 8W = 49.50

11W = 49.5

W = 4.5

D = \frac{4W}{3} = \frac{4*4.5}{3} = 6

Each dark chocolate tuffle was $6.
