The answer would be just about 61% or 9/14

Step-by-step explanation:

So, it would be a 71% chance to get 1 green out of the bag, but then you have to keep that green out, which then lowers the chances of getting another green out of the bag, then you have to combine the percentages, and then that is the final percentage.
