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?(1 point)
If Sara initially picked x number of apples, after discarding 110, the number of apples remaining is x-110.
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider, leaving (x-110)-300 apples to be sold as fresh fruit.
Thus, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is ((x-110)-300)/x = (x-410)/x.
Answer: \boxed{\frac{x-410}{x}}.
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?(1 point)
To find the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit, we need to know the total number of apples picked and how many were sold as fresh fruit.
Let's start with the total number of apples picked. If Sara discarded 110 apples as defective, the remaining number of apples is the total number of apples picked minus the number of defective apples.
Total apples picked = 110 (defective apples) + Remaining apples
So, we need to find the value of "Remaining apples."
Now, let's look at the information given. Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. This means the remaining apples can be calculated as:
Remaining apples = Total apples picked - Apples made into cider
= 110 + 300
= 410
Therefore, the remaining apples are 410.
The fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit can be calculated by taking the difference between the remaining apples and the apples made into cider, divided by the total apples picked:
Apples sold as fresh fruit = Remaining apples - Apples made into cider
= 410 - 300
= 110
To get the fraction, we divide the number of apples sold as fresh fruit by the total number of apples picked:
Fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit = Apples sold as fresh fruit / Total apples picked
= 110 / 410
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
Fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit = 11 / 41
So, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is 11/41.
To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to determine the number of apples that were sold after discarding the defective ones.
First, we need to find the number of apples that remained after discarding the defective ones:
Total number of apples picked - Number of discarded apples = Remaining apples
Let's denote the total number of apples picked as "T", and the number of discarded apples as "D". We are given that D = 110.
Remaining apples = T - D
Next, we are told that out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. Let's denote the number of apples made into cider as "C".
C = 300
To find the number of apples that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to subtract the number of apples made into cider from the remaining apples:
Apples sold as fresh fruit = Remaining apples - C
Apples sold as fresh fruit = (T - D) - C
Finally, to find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we divide the number of apples sold as fresh fruit by the total number of apples:
Fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit = Apples sold as fresh fruit / Total apples picked
Fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit = [(T - D) - C] / T
To calculate the fraction, we need to know the total number of apples picked (T). If this information is not provided, we cannot determine the exact fraction.
