You placed your question in the wrong forum of Yahoo Answers. This is the Investing section and you are asking us to solve an algebraic problem. I am simply too foggy to set up the correct equation. My suggestion is you try the question again in the category 'Science & Mathematics,' subcategory 'Mathematics,' or as an alternate in 'Education & Reference,' subcategory 'Homework Help.' That is where you find the expert that can answer your query with authority.
Edit: Well, I could not leave it alone and by trial and error I got the answer. But I still advise for you to follow the directions above to get the formula set-up to solve the problem. But here is the answer:
80 Candies @ 0.25 = Rs 20
15 Pens @ 5 ............ Rs 75
5 Erasers @ 1 .......... Rs 5
Total 100 items @ Rs 100.
You have Rs.100 and need 100 items
