Answer:

30 blue pins

Explanation:

30% is the same as 30 out of 100, so this can be written in this fraction:
(30)/(100)

now, you should multiply this fraction by the total number of pins she ordered:

100 x
(30)/(100)

to solve this, you can simplify by dividing 100 by 100, this equals 1

30 times 1 is 30

there are 30 blue pins
