2. Sara discarded 1/10 of the 200 apples she picked as defective. The rest were sold as fresh fruit. How many apples picked were sold as fresh fruit?(1 point) Responses 20 180 9/10 190

Answer 1

Sara discarded \( \frac{1}{10} \) of the 200 apples as defective.

To find out how many apples she discarded: \[ \text{Defective apples} = \frac{1}{10} \times 200 = 20 \]

Now, to find out how many apples were sold as fresh fruit: \[ \text{Fresh apples} = \text{Total apples} - \text{Defective apples} = 200 - 20 = 180 \]

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