Final answer:

To find the number of perfect apples harvested, we need to subtract the apples that were too small, too green, and bruised from the total number of apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of perfect apples harvested, we need to subtract the apples that were too small, too green, and bruised from the total number of apples.

First, we find the number of apples that were too small by dividing the total number of apples by 3.

Next, we find the number of apples that were too green by dividing the total number of apples by 4.

Then, we find the number of bruised apples by dividing the total number of apples by 10.

Finally, we subtract the sum of these three numbers from the total number of apples to find the number of perfect apples harvested.

Let's calculate the numbers:

The number of apples that were too small: 6000 / 3 = 2000 apples

The number of apples that were too green: 6000 / 4 = 1500 apples

The number of bruised apples: 6000 / 10 = 600 apples

The number of perfect apples: 6000 - (2000 + 1500 + 600) = 2400 apples

6000*.33=1980, 6000-1980=4020, 6000*.25=1500, 6000-1500=4500, 6000*.1=600, 6000-600=5400, 6000-1980-1500-600=1920 therefore 1920 apples where picked.
