Answer 2

To find the fraction of apples that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to know the total number of apples picked before any were discarded.

Let's assume that the total number of apples picked before any were discarded is "T."

If 110 apples were discarded as defective, then the number of apples remaining is T - 110.
Out of these remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. So, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is (T - 110) - 300.

The fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is:
((T - 110) - 300) / T.

Without knowing the value of T, we cannot determine the exact fraction. Therefore, the answer is:
