To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to follow these steps:
- Define the total number of apples picked as \( x \).
- Determine how many apples remained after discarding the defective ones: \( x - 110 \).
- Find out how many apples were sold as fresh fruit. We know that 300 apples were made into cider, so the number of apples sold as fresh fruit is: \[ (x - 110) - 300 = x - 410. \]
- Calculate the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit: \[ \text{Fraction sold as fresh fruit} = \frac{x - 410}{x}. \]
Now, we'll simplify this fraction: \[ \frac{x - 410}{x} = 1 - \frac{410}{x}. \]
To find the fraction, we need to know the value of \( x \), the total number of apples picked. However, the problem does not provide any specific number for \( x \) or any additional information regarding the total.
Since we do not have enough information to determine \( x \), we cannot find a numeric answer for the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit.
Therefore, the answer is:
not enough information.
