The number of pens she bought is 30.

The first step is to determine the number of pens she has.

Number of pens she has = 20% x 100

= 0.2 x 100 = 20

The second step is to determine the number of pens she bought. This equation can be used to determine the answer:

(x - 20) / 20 = 0.5

Where x is the number of pens she bought.

x - 20 = (0.5 x 20)

x - 20 = 10

x = 20 + 10

x = 30
