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 initially. However, this information is not provided in the question. Therefore, the answer is "not enough information."
are u sure?
I apologize for the confusion. Let's calculate the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit.
Let's assume that Sara picked a total of X apples initially.
She discarded 110 apples as defective, so the number of apples remaining is (X - 110).
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider, so the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is ((X - 110) - 300).
The fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is:
((X - 110) - 300) / X
Since we don't know the initial number of apples picked (X), we still cannot determine the exact fraction. Therefore, the answer remains "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 that were sold as fresh fruit.
Since Sara discarded 110 apples as defective, the number of apples remaining would be the total apples picked minus the discarded apples.
Let's assume the total number of apples picked by Sara is A.
Number of apples remaining after discarding the defective ones = A - 110
Out of these remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. Therefore, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit would be:
Number of apples sold as fresh fruit = Apples remaining - Apples made into cider
Number of apples sold as fresh fruit = (A - 110) - 300
Simplifying the expression, we get:
Number of apples sold as fresh fruit = A - 410
So, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit would be:
Fraction = Number of apples sold as fresh fruit / Total Apples picked
Fraction = (A - 410) / A
Since we don't know the value of A, we cannot determine the exact fraction. Therefore, 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 determine the number of apples that were sold after discarding the defective ones.
Let's denote the total number of apples picked as 'X'.
From the given information, we know that Sara discarded 110 apples as defective. Therefore, the number of apples remaining can be calculated as X - 110.
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. So the number of apples sold as fresh fruit can be calculated by subtracting 300 from X - 110.
Therefore, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is (X - 110) - 300.
To find the fraction, we need to divide the number of apples sold as fresh fruit by the total number of apples picked (X).
So the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is ((X - 110) - 300) / X.
However, we are missing the value of X (the total number of apples picked), so we cannot calculate the exact fraction with the given information. Therefore, the answer is "not enough information."
