she needs to make 36 purple cards.

Step-by-step explanation:

B : G : P

2 : 7 : 3

the 7 units belongs to the green and the qn stated that she needs to make 72 more cards after the 12 that she made in order to have the 7 units of green card.

Thus,

7 units = 12 + 72 = 84

1 unit = 12

3 units(amt of purple cards needed)= 12 × 3 = 36 #
