To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to find the total number of apples picked after Sara discarded 110 of them.
Let's call the total number of apples picked x.
After Sara discarded 110 apples, the remaining number of apples is x - 110.
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. So, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is (x - 110) - 300 = x - 410.
The fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is (x - 410) / x.
Unfortunately, we don't have enough information to calculate this fraction, as the value of x is missing. Therefore, the answer is "not enough information."
To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to calculate the number of apples that were sold as fresh fruit and divide it by the total number of apples picked.
We know that Sara discarded 110 of the apples she picked, so the total number of apples remaining is 110 less than the total number of apples she picked.
Let's denote the total number of apples she picked as "X".
The number of apples remaining after discarding the defective ones is:
X - 110
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. So, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is:
(X - 110) - 300 = X - 410
To find the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit, we divide the number of apples sold as fresh fruit by the total number of apples picked:
Fraction = (X - 410) / X
However, we need more information about the total number of apples picked (X) to calculate this fraction.
