There were 15 males and 10 more girls at the party. Each attendee received 2 cans of soft drinks. If Mary bought several boxes of soft drinks where a box contains 8 cans and is priced at $5 for each box, how much did Mary spend on soft drinks? Let's be accurate as possible.

There were 10 + 15 = 25 girls in the party. So, there were a total of 15 + 25 = 40 attendees. 40 x 2 = 80 cans of soft drinks are needed. So, Mary bought 80 / 8 = 10 boxes of soft drinks. Therefore, Mary spent 10 x $5 = $50 on soft drinks.
The answer: 50.
