Let the number of males be given the name M.
Let the number of females be given the name F.
If 15 females are absent, then M will be twice that of
present females.
This means that M = 2 * (F – 15)
M = 2 * F – 30.
or 2 * F – M = 30.
Now if in addition to the 15 females being absent, we also
have 45 males being absent,
then this gives the equation,
(F – 15) = 5 * (M – 45)
which simplifies to
F – 15 = 5 * M – 225
5 * M – F = 210
Pulling the equations together, we get
5 * M – F = 210
-M + 2 * F = 30
Multiply the first equation by 2, and keep the second
equation as is.
10 * M – 2 * F = 420
– M + 2 * F = 30
Add the equations.
9 * M = 450
M = 50
Verify answer.
Calculate F
from – M + 2 * F = 30
-50 + 2 * F = 30
2 * F = 30 + 50
F = 40.
If 15 females are absent, then number of males will be twice
that of females.
40 – 15 = 25.
50 = 2 * 25. Confirmed.
If also 45 males were absent, then female strength would be
5 times that of males.
Female strength is 25 due to the 15 females being absent.
50 – 45 = 5.
25 = 5 * 5. Confirmed.

Solution:
As given, we have,
The cost of one pen = 36 Rs.
So, the cost of 15 pens = 36 × 15 = 540 Rs.
The cost of one book = 45 Rs.
So, the cost of 12 books = 45 × 12 = 540 Rs.
The cost of one pencil = 8 Rs.
So, the cost of 10 pencils = 8 × 10 = 80 Rs.
Now,
the cost of each eraser is 40 Rs. less than the combined costs of pen and pencil.
So,
Combined costs of pen and pencil = 36 + 8 = 44 Rs.
Cost of one eraser = 44 – 40 = 4 Rs.
So, the cost of 5 erasers = 4 × 5 = 20 Rs.
Hence,
The total amount spent is
Hence, the total amount spent is 1180 Rs.
