Answer 1

To determine how many apples were sold as fresh fruit, you first need to calculate how many apples Sara discarded as defective.

Sara discarded \( \frac{1}{10} \) of the 200 apples:

\[ \text{Defective apples} = \frac{1}{10} \times 200 = 20 \]

Now, subtract the defective apples from the total number of apples picked:

\[ \text{Fresh apples} = 200 - 20 = 180 \]

Therefore, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is 180.
