    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
