Answer 1

To determine which orchard would be cheaper to visit for a class with 12 students, we can calculate the total costs for both options.

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

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

Now we can compare the two totals:
- Orchard A costs $135
- Orchard B costs $130

Therefore, Orchard B is cheaper to visit.

The answer is **Orchard B**.
