Answer 1

To determine which orchard would be cheaper for a class of 20 students, let's calculate the total costs for each orchard.

Orchard A:

• Admission cost per person: $9
• Total number of people (20 students + 3 chaperones): 23
• Total cost: 23 people x $9 = $207

Orchard B:

• Admission cost per person: $10
• Total number of people (20 students + 1 chaperone): 21
• Total cost: 21 people x $10 = $210

Now compare the total costs:

• Orchard A: $207
• Orchard B: $210

Orchard A is cheaper.

Therefore, the answer is Orchard A.
