5/20 or 25% is the answer. Hope it helps!

you first add up how many erasers there are in the bag so there are 20 and then you check how many purple erasers there are and so there are 5 and so the answer is 5/20 or 1/4 which is 0.25 as a decimal and if you do probability the answer has to be in between o and 1 and so 0.25 is in between 0 and 1 so it should be correct
