Answer 1

To calculate the total cost for each orchard, we need to account for the number of students, the admission costs, and the number of chaperones required.

**For Orchard A:**
- Admission cost per person: $9
- Total number of people (12 students + 3 chaperones) = 15
- Total cost = 15 people × $9/person = $135

**For Orchard B:**
- Admission cost per person: $10
- Total number of people (12 students + 1 chaperone) = 13
- Total cost = 13 people × $10/person = $130

Now we can compare the total costs:
- Orchard A costs $135.
- Orchard B costs $130.

Since $130 (Orchard B) is less than $135 (Orchard A), Orchard B is the cheaper option.

So, the answer is: **Orchard B**.
