Sarah discarded 1/10 of the 200 apples she picked as defective. The rest was sold as fresh fruit. How many apples picked were sold as fresh fruit

Question

9/10

190

180

20

Answer 1

Sarah picked 200 apples and discarded \( \frac{1}{10} \) of them as defective. To find out how many apples were discarded, we can calculate:

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

Now, to find out how many apples were sold as fresh fruit, we subtract the number of defective apples from the total number of apples picked:

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

So, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is \( \mathbf{180} \).
