Assume that the pizza boxes actually contain pizzas. 😆🍕

Answer

₱500 🎯

Solution

Let b = bacon pizza boxes
Let c = chicken pizza boxes

Equation 1: 15b + 12c = 15000
Equation 2: 10b + 18c = 15000

We have a system of linear equations in two variables.

The easiest and fastest way to get the value of a chicken pizza box is to use elimination method to eliminate the variable b in the system. This will be done by multiplying Equation 1 by 2, and Equation 2 by 3.

Equation 3: 30b + 24c = 30000
Equation 4: 30b + 54c = 45000

We should now subtract Equation 3 from Equation 4. This is the easiest method.

30b - 30b + 54c - 24c = 45000 - 30000
30c = 15000
c = 500

Therefore, the price of a chicken pizza box is ₱500.

(If we want to get the price of a bacon pizza box, we should just substitute 500 for c in either Equation 1 or Equation 2, then solve for b. The price of a bacon pizza box is ₱600.)

I sent 1 HIVE to @appukuttan66's Hive account because he correctly answered first, before I checked if he had been an active D.Buzz user on the day he submitted his answer. (He was actually not qualified, but there is no need for him to return the 1 HIVE). Anyway, I don't know how currency symbols are written in @appukuttan66's country, so I have accepted "500 P" as the answer. That's especially when the Philippine Peso symbol (₱) is difficult to type (though it can just be copied from the problem), and Filipinos themselves very often use "P" instead of "₱" when typing the symbol. If the "P" was not included in the answer, then the answer is considered incorrect because of missing unit.
