Question

Jayce ordered a set of beads. He received 700 beads, and 61% of them were purple. How many purple beads did Jayce receive?

To find the number of purple beads, we multiply the total number of beads by the percentage that were purple: 700 beads * 61% = <<700*61*.01=427>>427 purple beads. Answer: \boxed{427}.
