Answer:

Pink Starburst occupies 20% of the total bag space

Explanation:

Given

Ratio of pink (P) starburst to yellow (Y) starbursts
= 0.25

Mathematically, it can be written as

$(P)/(Y) = 0.25\\Y = (P)/(0.25) \\Y = 4P$

Then the % space taken by pink startburt is equal

$(P)/(4P + P) \\= (P)/(5P)\\= (1)/(5)\\= 0.2$

Hence, Pink Starburst occupies 20% of the total bag space
