The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

A farmer sells 9.9 kg of pears and apples at the farmers market. 3/4 of this weight is pears,and the rest is apples.how many kilograms of apples did she sell at the farmers market.

Answer: The farmer sells 2.475 kg of apples.

Explanation:

Given : Total weight of pears and apples = 9.9 Kg

`(3)/(4)` of the total weight is pears

Hence, weight of pears =
`(3)/(4)* 9.9=7.425 Kg`

Therefore weight of apples = Total weight - weight of pears = (9.9 -7.425) = 2.475 Kg
