Answer

There are 12 more yellow apples than red.

Explanation:

How exactly?

First find how many bags of YELLOW apples. 9 bags in total and there is 1 bag of green apples and 3 bags of red apples so 9-(3+1)= 5 bags of YELLOW apples.

So we know there is 1 bag of GREEN apples and since each bag holds/ contains 6 apples we also know that 1x6= 6 so g or GREEN apples is 6.

Now lets find how many RED apples there are :D. There are 3 bags of RED apples each containing 6 apples so we know 6+6+6= so r or RED apples is 18.

So, now we find how many YELLOW apples there are. 6 apples in each bag and there are 5 bags remaining for YELLOW apples we do 6x5 which equals 30 apples ( WOW My girl PAM?! She looove her yellow apples)

Lastly we know there are 30 yellow apples and 18 red apples we also know the question asked " How many MORE yellow apples are there than red apples?" so this means we subtract. 30-18= 12 MORE YELLOW APPLES THAN RED APPLES
