    A 0.2 (x + 15) = 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the cost of Ramesh's dinner.

    Since, Pilar's dinner cost $15.

    The sum of pilar and Ramesh's dinner is;

    = 15 + x

    And also, since the tip is 20% of the cost of their dinner;

    tip = 20% of (15+x) = 0.20 (15+x)

    The amount of the tip is equal to $5

    0.20 (15+x) = 5

    Which gives;

    0.2 (x+15) = 5

    Solving the equation, we have;

    x+15 = 5/0.2

    x+15 = 25

    x = 25-15

    x = $10
