First, set up the percent proportion, cross multiply and divide. Finally, subtract the answer you get from the original number.
You should get, $1,425.50.
3/4 + 8/9
= (3*9)+(4*8) / (4*9)
= 27+32 / 36
= 59/36
= 1 23/36
Let the number of green apples bought be x
Green apples = x
Red apples = 2x
Yellow apples = 1/3 (2x) = 2/3 x
Total = 22 apples
x + 2x + 2/3 x = 22
11/3 x = 22
11x = 66
x = 6
Green apples = x = 6
Red apples = 2x = 2(6) = 12
Yellow apples = 2/3 (2x) = 2/3 (6) = 4
Answer: Green = 6, Red = 12, Yellow = 4
