Answer:

35 purple pins

Explanation:

Given information,

→ Total pins = 50

→ Purple pins = 70%

Now the number of purple pins is,

→ 70% of 50

→ (50/100) × 70

→ 0.5 × 70

→ 35 purple pins

Hence, there are 35 purple pins.

Answer:

Nora received 35 purple pins.

Explanation:

If Nora received 50 pins, and 70% of the pins were purple, to calculate the number of purple pins Nora received, we must find 70% of 50.

To find 70% of 50, we can multiply 50 by the decimal form of 70%:


50 * .7=35

Therefore, we can conclude that since 70% of the 50 pins Nora received were purple, and 70% of 50 is 35, Nora received 35 purple pins.
