The ratio of green bars to red bars is 44:33 which simplified is 4:3.

We can set up an equation to find number of red bars:

Since the ratio stays the same, # of green bars / # of red bars = 4/3,

so 200200/x = 4/3 where x = # of red bars.

Now solve for x:

200200/x = 4/3 
(cross multiply)   
200200*3 = 4*x
600600 = 4x
600600/4 = x
x = 150150

There 150150 red bars if there are 200200 green bars.

Hope this answers your question!
