To determine the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to follow these steps:
-
Identify the total apples picked: Let's denote the total number of apples picked as \( x \).
-
Calculate the defective apples: Sara discarded \( \frac{110}{10} = 11 \) apples as defective.
-
Calculate the remaining apples: After discarding the defective apples:
\[
\text{Remaining apples} = x - 11
\]
-
Calculate the apples made into cider: According to the problem, 300 apples were used to make cider.
-
Calculate the apples sold as fresh fruit: The remaining apples after cider production are:
\[
\text{Fresh fruit sold} = (x - 11) - 300
\]
which simplifies to:
\[
\text{Fresh fruit sold} = x - 311
\]
-
Determine the fraction sold as fresh fruit: The fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit can be expressed as:
\[
\text{Fraction} = \frac{\text{Fresh fruit sold}}{\text{Total apples picked}} = \frac{x - 311}{x}
\]
Now, we need a specific answer based on possible options given. Since we don't have the actual value of \( x \) (the total number of apples picked), we are unable to compute a specific fraction.
Thus, based on the provided options, the correct response would be not enough information.
