Orchard A

Answer 1

To determine which orchard is cheaper to visit for a class of 12 students, let’s calculate the total cost for each orchard, including the required chaperones.

Orchard A:

• Admission cost per person: $9
• Number of people (students + chaperones): 12 students + 3 chaperones = 15 people
• Total cost = 15 people × $9 = $135

Orchard B:

• Admission cost per person: $10
• Number of people (students + chaperones): 12 students + 1 chaperone = 13 people
• Total cost = 13 people × $10 = $130

Now let's compare the total costs:

• Orchard A: $135
• Orchard B: $130

Therefore, Orchard B would be cheaper to visit.

The answer is Orchard B.
