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