To find out how many napkins should be ordered for 15 guests, we can use proportions.
We can set up a proportion with the number of napkins and the number of guests:
400 napkins / 8 guests = x napkins / 15 guests
Now we can cross-multiply to solve for x:
8 * x = 400 * 15
8x = 6000
Divide both sides by 8 to solve for x:
x = 6000 / 8
x = 750
Therefore, the planner should order 750 napkins for 15 guests.
