To find the percentage of purple pins, we need to divide the number of purple pins by the total number of pins and then multiply by 100.

Percentage of purple pins = (Number of purple pins / Total number of pins) x 100

Number of purple pins = 115

Total number of pins = 250

Percentage of purple pins = (115 / 250) x 100

Percentage of purple pins = 46%

Therefore, 46% of the pins Suzie ordered were purple.
