Answer 1

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

For Orchard A:

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

For Orchard B:

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

Now we can compare the total costs:

• Orchard A: $135
• Orchard B: $130

Therefore, it is cheaper to visit Orchard B.
