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 answer

After discarding the defective apples, Sara had 300 + 110 = <<300+110=410>>410 good apples left.
Thus, 410 - 300 = <<410-300=110>>110 apples were sold as fresh fruit.
Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked sold as fresh fruit is 110/410 = <<110/410=0.2682926829268293>>0.2682926829268293. Answer: \boxed{\frac{110}{410}}.
