To find out how many apples were sold as fresh fruit, we first need to determine how many apples Sara discarded.
- Sara picked a total of 200 apples.
- She discarded \( \frac{1}{10} \) of the 200 apples.
Calculating the number of discarded apples: \[ \frac{1}{10} \times 200 = 20 \]
Now, we subtract the number of discarded apples from the total number of apples to find out how many were sold as fresh fruit: \[ 200 - 20 = 180 \]
Thus, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is 180.
