Sara discarded q/10 of the remaining 300 were made into cider the rest.are sold fruit what fraction of the total apple pick were sold fruit
To find the fraction of the total apple pick that was sold as fruit, we need to calculate the remaining fraction after the cider fraction is discarded.
If Sara discarded q/10 of the remaining apples, this means that 1 - q/10 of the apples were kept.
There were 300 apples initially, and 1 - q/10 of those were kept. So the fraction of apples sold as fruit is (1 - q/10)/300.
To find the fraction of the total apple pick that was sold as fruit, we need to determine the number of apples that were sold as fruit and divide it by the total number of apples initially picked.
Let's break down the process step by step:
1. Sara initially picked 300 apples.
2. She discarded q/10 of the remaining apples, which means she got rid of a fraction of q/10 apples. Let's denote the number of remaining apples after discarding as R.
R = 300 - q/10
3. Out of the remaining apples, q/10 were used to make cider. Let's denote the number of apples used for making cider as C.
C = (q/10) * R = qR/10
4. The rest of the remaining apples were sold as fruit, which means the number of apples sold as fruit is the difference between the remaining apples and the apples used for making cider.
S = R - C
= R - qR/10
= (10R - qR)/10
= (10 - q)R/10
5. Finally, to find the fraction of the total apple pick that was sold as fruit, we divide the number of apples sold as fruit by the total number of apples initially picked.
Fraction sold as fruit = S/300
= (10 - q)R/10 / 300
= (10 - q)(300 - qR)/300
Remember to substitute the value of q given in the problem to get the specific fraction sold as fruit.
To find the fraction of the total apple pick that were sold as fruit, we need to calculate the quantity of apples sold and divide it by the total quantity of apples picked.
Let's break it down step-by-step:
Step 1: Calculate the quantity of apples discarded.
q/10 of the remaining 300 apples were discarded. We need the value of 'q' to proceed further.
Step 2: Calculate the quantity of apples remaining after discarding.
We subtract the quantity of apples discarded (q/10) from the initial quantity of 300 apples.
Remaining apples = 300 - (q/10)
Step 3: Calculate the quantity of apples made into cider.
The remaining apples are made into cider, so the quantity of apples made into cider is the same as the remaining apples after discarding.
Step 4: Calculate the quantity of apples sold.
We subtract the quantity of apples made into cider from the remaining apples.
Quantity of apples sold = Remaining apples - Quantity of apples made into cider
Step 5: Calculate the fraction of apples sold as fruit.
To find the fraction, we divide the quantity of apples sold by the total quantity of apples picked.
Fraction of apples sold as fruit = Quantity of apples sold / Total quantity of apples picked
Please provide the value of 'q' from the question to proceed with the calculations.
