To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to determine the number of apples sold as fresh fruit.
We know that Sara discarded 110 apples as defective, so we subtract that from the total number of apples picked:
Total apples picked - Apples discarded = Apples remaining
Next, we are told that 300 apples were made into cider, so we subtract that from the apples remaining to find the number of apples sold as fresh fruit:
Apples remaining - Apples made into cider = Apples sold as fresh fruit
Finally, we divide the number of apples sold as fresh fruit by the total number of apples picked to find the fraction:
(Apples sold as fresh fruit) / (Total apples picked)
As the question does not provide the total number of apples picked or the number of apples remaining after discarding and making cider, we cannot determine the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit. The correct response is "not enough information."
To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to know the total number of apples picked.
Since the total number of apples picked is not mentioned in the question, there is not enough information to determine the fraction. Therefore, the correct answer is:
not enough information.
