Let be "x" the number of party favors Anna received.

According to the information given in the exercise, Anna ordered 200 party favors.

You know that the number of party favors that she received can represented as:


(1)/(10)\cdot200

Then, you can set up this equation:


x=(1)/(10)\cdot200

Finally, solving the Multiplication and reducing the fraction, you get the following result:


\begin{gathered} x=(200)/(10) \\ \\ x=20 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the answer is: She received 20 party favors.
