GPT-4o mini · Answer

To determine which orchard would be cheaper, we need to calculate the total cost for a class with 12 students.

Orchard A:

Admission cost per person: $9
Total number of people (students + chaperones): 12 students + 3 chaperones = 15 people
Total cost for Orchard A:
$ 15 \text{ people} \times 9 \text{ dollars/person} = 135 \text{ dollars} $

Orchard B:

Admission cost per person: $10
Total number of people (students + chaperones): 12 students + 1 chaperone = 13 people
Total cost for Orchard B:
$ 13 \text{ people} \times 10 \text{ dollars/person} = 130 \text{ dollars} $

Comparison:

Based on these calculations, Orchard B is cheaper.

Final Answer: Orchard B
