    7/2 = 63/g ... 7 red apples to 2 green apples = 63 red apples to g green apples

    cross multiply

    (7) (g) = (2) (63)

    7g = 126

    g = 126/7

    g = 18

    so they sold 63 red apples and 18 green apples ... for a total of (63 + 18) = 81 apples sold

    So if there are 63 red apples / 7 that equals 9 apples per part. That means that There are 7 parts of 9 red apples, which is true, then there are 2 parts of 9 green apples, which equals 18 green apples. 18 + 63 = 81 apples total.
