Let's assume Sars picked a total of x apples.
Sars discarded 1/10 of the apples, so the number of apples remaining is (10/10 - 1/10)x = (9/10)x.
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. So the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is (9/10)x - 300.
The fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is [(9/10)x - 300] / x.
This can be simplified as (9x/10 - 300) / x.
Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is 9/10 - 300/x.
Sars discarded 1/10 of the apples, so the number of apples remaining is (10/10 - 1/10)x = (9/10)x.
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. So the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is (9/10)x - 300.
The fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is [(9/10)x - 300] / x.
This can be simplified as (9x/10 - 300) / x.
Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is 9/10 - 300/x.

To determine the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to understand how many apples were left after the defective ones were discarded.
Let's assume Sars picked a total of 10x apples (to have an easy reference for fractions).
Sars discarded 1/10 of the apples, which means 1/10 * 10x = x apples were discarded.
So, the number of apples remaining is 10x - x = 9x.
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. So, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is 9x - 300.
Now, we can compare the number of apples sold as fresh fruit to the total number of apples picked:
Apples sold as fresh fruit / Total apples picked = (9x - 300) / 10x.
Simplifying, we have:
(9x - 300) / 10x = (9/10) - 30/x.
Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is 9/10 - 30/x.
We cannot determine the exact fraction without the value of x, so the answer is "not enough information."
Let's assume Sars picked a total of 10x apples (to have an easy reference for fractions).
Sars discarded 1/10 of the apples, which means 1/10 * 10x = x apples were discarded.
So, the number of apples remaining is 10x - x = 9x.
Out of the remaining apples, 300 were made into cider. So, the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is 9x - 300.
Now, we can compare the number of apples sold as fresh fruit to the total number of apples picked:
Apples sold as fresh fruit / Total apples picked = (9x - 300) / 10x.
Simplifying, we have:
(9x - 300) / 10x = (9/10) - 30/x.
Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is 9/10 - 30/x.
We cannot determine the exact fraction without the value of x, so the answer is "not enough information."
