1. **State the problem:**
We need to find the cost of one package of white chocolate chip cookie dough (let's call it $x$) and one package of oatmeal cookie dough (let's call it $y$).
2. **Write the system of equations from the problem:**
From Anjali's sales: $$1 \cdot x + 3 \cdot y = 43$$
From Molly's sales: $$2 \cdot x + 3 \cdot y = 47$$
3. **Use the elimination method to solve for $x$ and $y$:**
Subtract the first equation from the second to eliminate $y$:
$$ (2x + 3y) - (1x + 3y) = 47 - 43 $$
$$ 2x + 3y - 1x - 3y = 4 $$
$$ (2x - 1x) + (3y - 3y) = 4 $$
$$ x + \cancel{3y} - \cancel{3y} = 4 $$
$$ x = 4 $$
4. **Substitute $x=4$ back into the first equation to find $y$:**
$$ 1 \cdot 4 + 3y = 43 $$
$$ 4 + 3y = 43 $$
$$ 3y = 43 - 4 $$
$$ 3y = 39 $$
$$ \cancel{3} y = \cancel{39} $$
$$ y = 13 $$
5. **Conclusion:**
The cost of one package of white chocolate chip cookie dough is $4$.
The cost of one package of oatmeal cookie dough is $13$.
