It looks like your sentence is incomplete. Usually the cost of apples is said to be directly proportional to either
- the number of apples, or
- the weight (mass) of apples bought.
If x denotes the number (or weight) and C the cost, the relation is
C = kx
where k is the unit price. To use it:
1. Find k from a known pair (x1, C1): k = C1 / x1.
2. Then compute the desired cost: C2 = k x2.
Example:
If 6 kg cost $9, then k = 9/6 = $1.50 per kg. For 10 kg: C = 1.5 × 10 = $15.
