Answer 1

To determine which orchard would be cheaper to visit for 18 students, we need to calculate the total cost for both options.

**For Orchard A:**
- Cost per person = $9
- Total number of people = 18 students + 3 chaperones = 21 people
- Total cost = 21 people * $9/person = $189

**For Orchard B:**
- Cost per person = $10
- Total number of people = 18 students + 1 chaperone = 19 people
- Total cost = 19 people * $10/person = $190

Now we can compare the total costs:
- Orchard A: $189
- Orchard B: $190

Orchard A is cheaper. Therefore, the correct response would be:

**Orchard A**
