Using the subtraction operation, the number of purple bags is 3 more than the number of yellow bags.

Amount of each color available :

Number of Purple bags :

Amount of color required per bag × Amount of purple color

Number of purple bags = $\frac{3}{16} \times 64 = 12$

Number of Yellow bags :

Amount of color required per bag × Amount of Yellow color

Number of yellow bags = $\frac{3}{16} \times 48 = 9$

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.
