To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to find the total number of apples picked after Sara discarded 110 of them.

Let's call the total number of apples picked x.

After Sara discarded 110 apples, the remaining number of apples 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 = x - 410.

The fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is (x - 410) / x.

Unfortunately, we don't have enough information to calculate this fraction, as the value of x is missing. Therefore, the answer is "not enough information."
