Answer:

These are confusing Beth , b/c you have to remember that they will add to 100%

Explanation:

so

green = 3* yellow

100% = green + yellow + 35% + 25%

100% = 3* yellow + yellow +60%

40% = 4* yellow

10% = yellow

30% = green

there are 14 purples in the bag , which is 35% of total

14/.35 = 40

there are a total of 40 pins

so

4 are yellow (10% of 40 or 40* 0.1)

12 are green (30% of 40 or 40*0.3)

14 are purple (35% of 40 or 40*0.35)

10 are grey (25% of 40 or 40*0.25 )
