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

Answer 1

To find out how many apples were sold as fresh fruit, we first need to calculate how many apples Sara discarded as defective.

1. Calculate the defective apples: \[ \text{Defective apples} = \frac{1}{10} \times 200 = 20 \]

2. Calculate the fresh apples: \[ \text{Fresh apples} = \text{Total apples} - \text{Defective apples} \] \[ \text{Fresh apples} = 200 - 20 = 180 \]

Therefore, Sara sold 180 apples as fresh fruit.
