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)
To find out how many apples were sold as fresh fruit, we need to subtract the number of discarded apples from the total number of apples picked.
Sara discarded 1/10 of the 200 apples, which means she discarded (1/10) * 200 = 20 apples.
Therefore, the number of apples picked and sold as fresh fruit is 200 - 20 = 180 apples.
Is that true?
Apologies for the miscalculation.
If Sara discarded 1/10 of the 200 apples she picked, she would have discarded (1/10) * 200 = 20 apples.
Therefore, the number of apples that were sold as fresh fruit is 200 - 20 = 180 apples.
