   2 x 2 = 25
   3 x 3 = 16
   4 x 4 = 9
   5 x 5 = 4

Hint
It doesn't actually matter how many men or women there were.

Answer
17,760 dollars.

If there were M men, then there were (3552 − M) women.

So one ninth of the men each received 45 dollars and one twelve of the women each received 60 dollars. So the total received was:
= 45 x 1 x M  +  60 x  1 x (3552 − M)
       —              ——
       9              12

Simplify the two fractions by dividing the 45 by 9, and the 60 by 12 respectively.

= 5 x M + 5 x (3552 − M)

= 5M + 17760 − 5M

= 17760
