Mr. Crimmins bought 15 apples and 15 oranges. Each apple cost $1.00, each orange cost $1.50. How much more did he spend on oranges than apples?

Calculate apple spend:
Apple Spend = Apple Cost * Number of Apples
Apple Spend = $1.00 * 15
Apple Spend = $15

Calculate apple spend:
Orange Spend = Orange Cost * Number of Oranges
Orange Spend = $1.50 * 15
Orange Spend = $22.50

Calculate the additional amount spent on oranges over apples:
Additional Orange Spend = Orange Spend - Apple Spend
Additional Orange Spend = $22.50 - $15.00
Additional Orange Spend = $7.50
