Answer

The number of movies are $20$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow 1.5r+15=2.25r$ Subtract $1.5r$ from each side. $\Rightarrow 1.5r+15-1.5r=2.25r-1.5r$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 15=0.75r $ Divide each side by $0.75$. $\Rightarrow \frac{15}{0.75}=\frac{0.75r}{0.75} $ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 20=r $ Hence, the number of movies are $20$.
