Sara discarded 110 of the apples she picked as defective. Of the apples remaining, 300 were made into cider. The rest were sold as fresh fruit. What fraction of the total apples picked were sold as fresh fruit?
A 3/5
B not enough information
C 4/5
D 3/10
To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we first need to subtract the number of discarded apples from the total number of apples picked.
Total apples picked = 110 (discarded) + 300 (made into cider) + fresh fruit
Let's say the total number of apples picked was x.
Then, x - 110 - 300 = fresh fruit
x - 410 = fresh fruit
The fraction of the total apples picked sold as fresh fruit is given by:
(fresh fruit) / (total apples picked) = (x - 410) / x
However, we do not have the value of x, so we cannot determine the exact fraction.
Therefore, the answer is (B) not enough information
To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to determine the number of apples remaining after discarding the defective ones.
Let's begin by subtracting the number of discarded apples from the total apples picked:
Total apples picked - Discarded apples = Apples remaining
Since Sara discarded 110 apples and the total apples picked is not given, we cannot determine the exact number of apples remaining. Therefore, there is not enough information to calculate the fraction.
The correct answer is B) not enough information.
