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}}.

To find the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit, we need to calculate the number of apples that were sold as fresh fruit.

First, we know that Sara discarded 110 defective apples. So the number of apples remaining is the total number of apples picked minus the number of defective apples:

Total apples remaining = Total apples picked - Defective apples
Total apples remaining = 110 + 300 = 410 apples

Next, we can calculate the number of apples sold as fresh fruit:

Apples sold as fresh fruit = Total apples remaining - Apples made into cider
Apples sold as fresh fruit = 410 - 300 = 110 apples

Finally, to find the fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit, we divide the number of apples sold as fresh fruit by the total number of apples picked:

Fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit = (Apples sold as fresh fruit) / (Total apples picked)
Fraction of apples sold as fresh fruit = 110 / 410

Therefore, the fraction of the total apples picked that were sold as fresh fruit is 110/410.
