Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

After discarding 1/10 of the 200 apples picked as defective, Sara sold 180 apples as fresh fruit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked: How many apples picked were sold as fresh fruit if Sara discarded 1/10 of the 200 apples she picked as defective? To find the answer, we simply need to calculate the amount discarded and subtract it from the total amount of apples picked. If Sara discards 1/10 of the apples, she is discarding 200 / 10, which equals 20 apples. Therefore, the remaining apples that were sold as fresh fruit are 200 - 20 which equals 180 apples.
