Answer:

60 chocolates in total

Explanation:

If the ratio of caramel chocolates to chocolate truffles is 4:6 and we know there are 24 caramel chocolates, we can create a proportion.(X is the amount of chocolate truffles)

4/24=6/x

Solve for x.

144=4x

X=36

Now that we know how many of each chocolate there is, we can calculate the total by adding them together.

36+24=60 chocolates in total
