Answer: 16 total starbursts.

Step-by-step explanation:

If 25% were pink, then 75% aren't pink.  Let x be the total number of starbursts.  We know that 75% of x = 12 (the ones that aren't pink).  There is insufficient information to determine whether there is even one red starburst.

0.75x = 12

x = 12/(3/4)

x = 48/3

x = 16

There are 16 total starbursts:

25% are pink = 4 pink starbursts

75% aren't pink = 12 non pink starbursts

Total of 16 starbursts.

We can't answer how many were red.  We aren't given any indication that there is even one red starburst.  All we know is that 12 are not pink.
