Using the subtraction operation, the number of purple bags is 3 more than the number of yellow bags.
Amount of each color available :
- Amount of purple color = 64
- Amount of Yellow bags = 48
- Amount of color in pound required per bag = [tex]\frac{3}{16} [/tex]
Number of Purple bags :
Amount of color required per bag × Amount of purple color
Number of purple bags = [tex]\frac{3}{16} \times 64 = 12[/tex]
Number of Yellow bags :
Amount of color required per bag × Amount of Yellow color
Number of yellow bags = [tex]\frac{3}{16} \times 48 = 9[/tex]
Now we find the difference between the number of Purple and Yellow bags :
Number of purple bags - Number of yellow bags
Difference = 12 - 9 = 3 bags
Therefore, there are 3 more purple bags than Yellow bags.
