Answer 1

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

For Orchard A:

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

For Orchard B:

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

Now we compare the total costs:

• Orchard A: $135
• Orchard B: $130

Orchard B is cheaper for the trip with the class of 12 students.

So, the correct response is Orchard B.
