Question

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)

Answer 1

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}}.
