Answer 1

Let's calculate the total cost for each orchard with the given information:

Orchard A:

• Cost per person: $9
• Number of students: 17
• Number of chaperones: 3

Total people = students + chaperones = 17 + 3 = 20

Total cost for Orchard A = total people × cost per person Total cost for Orchard A = 20 × $9 = $180

Orchard B:

• Cost per person: $10
• Number of students: 17
• Number of chaperones: 1

Total people = students + chaperones = 17 + 1 = 18

Total cost for Orchard B = total people × cost per person Total cost for Orchard B = 18 × $10 = $180

Comparing the total costs:

• Total cost for Orchard A: $180
• Total cost for Orchard B: $180

So they cost the same.

Therefore, the answer is: They cost the same.
