Answer:

18/19

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to find total cost of corn dogs and total cost of caramel apples

cost of each corn dog * amount of corn dogs = total amount of corn dogs

=> $2.25 * 2 = $4.5

cost of each caramel apple * amount of caramel apple = total amount of caramel apple

=> $.95 * 5 = $4.75

total cost of corn dog                4.5

--------------------------------          =   ------

total cost of caramel apple        4.75

multiply numerator and denominator by 100 to get rid of decimal

450/475

simplify the fraction so it equals 18/19
