The total number of apples picked is not given in the question, so we cannot determine the fraction of apples that were sold as fresh fruit. Therefore, the correct response is "not enough information."

To find the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit, we need to determine how many apples were left after 110 were discarded and 300 were made into cider.
If Sara picked a total of A apples, then the number of apples remaining after discarding 110 would be A - 110.
Out of these remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. So, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit would be (A - 110) - 300.
We can simplify this expression to A - 410.
Therefore, the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit is (A - 410) / A.
However, we don't have the value of A, which represents the total number of apples picked by Sara. Hence, we don't have enough information to determine the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit.
To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we first need to determine the total number of apples picked.
We are given that Sara discarded 110 apples as defective. Let's denote the total number of apples picked as "x". Since 110 apples were discarded, the remaining number of apples is x - 110.
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. Therefore, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is (x - 110) - 300.
To find the fraction, we will divide the number of apples sold as fresh fruit by the total number of apples picked:
Fraction = Number of apples sold as fresh fruit / Total number of apples picked
Fraction = (x - 110 - 300) / x
We cannot simplify this fraction further unless we have the value of x. Since the value of x is not given, we cannot determine the exact fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit.
Therefore, the answer is "not enough information".
