To find out how many apples were sold as fresh fruit, first, we need to determine how many apples Sara picked and then subtract the number of defective apples.

Sara picked a total of 200 apples and discarded 110 of them as defective.

So, the number of fresh apples is:

200 - 110 = 90

Therefore, the number of apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is 90. However, if we look at the provided choices, it seems none of them match this number.

Based on the choices, the correct response regarding fresh apples would be:

None of the given responses (20, 910, 190, 180) correctly reflect the number of fresh apples.

If the question intended to have a mistake in the numbers discarded, please double-check the values.

it has to be one of the answers given

I apologize for any confusion. Let's clarify the calculation:

Sara picked 200 apples and discarded 110 as defective.

To find out how many apples were sold as fresh fruit:

  1. Total apples picked: 200
  2. Defective apples discarded: 110

Now, calculate the number of fresh apples:

\[ \text{Fresh apples} = \text{Total apples} - \text{Defective apples} = 200 - 110 = 90 \]

However, since 90 is not one of the options provided, I must check again based on your listed choices to see if one of them mistakenly represents the calculation:

  • 20
  • 910
  • 190
  • 180

From this, let's see if any option could represent a different interpretation:

  • 190 could reference apples remaining (as in total minus defects), but that is incorrect because defects must be counted accurately.
  • 180 does not fit either based on the calculations given.

It seems my calculations are consistent with the data given, but none of the provided choices fit the output:

Option nearest could be 190, implying that 10 were defective instead. If there's an error in defect numbers, please clarify.

If forced to choose based on misinterpretation or rounding, I’d go for 190 as the closest reasonable option, assuming 10 were defective—which can sometimes happen if details were missed or misstated.

Again, I apologize for any confusion, and kindly urge to check the number of defective apples.
