Answer 1

Let's calculate the total cost for both orchards with 12 students.

For Orchard A:

• Admission cost per person: $9
• Total number of people = 12 students + 3 chaperones = 15 people
• Total cost = 15 people * $9/person = $135

For Orchard B:

• Admission cost per person: $10
• Total number of people = 12 students + 1 chaperone = 13 people
• Total cost = 13 people * $10/person = $130

Now, let's compare the costs:

• Orchard A: $135
• Orchard B: $130

Orchard B is cheaper to visit.

The answer is: Orchard B.
