Answer:

the cost of the dinner is $75

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello , I think I can help you with this

you can solve this using a simple rule of three

Step 1

the cost of the dinner is the 100%

$ 15 = 20%

$x?   =100%

the proportion is

[tex]\frac{15}{20}=\frac{x}{100}[/tex]

Step 2

solve for x

[tex]\frac{15}{20}=\frac{x}{100}\\x=\frac{100*15}{20}\\x=\frac{1500}{20}\\x=75[/tex]

the cost of the dinner is $75

Have a nice day.
