Jewish people believe that 18 is a lucky number, and therefore monetary gifts are often given in amounts of multiples of 18: $18.00, $36.00, $54.00, etc.
Since this kid isn't a close friend, $18.00 would probably do the trick--he (or at least his parents) would recognize the significance of this amount, and probably appreciate that you did too.

any amount of money mulitplied by 15 is appropriate.
it's for his 15th birthday. So that is the tradition.
