The total number of candy-coated chocolate pieces is 12 + 23 + 25 + 15 = 75.

The probability of pulling out a red one is the number of red ones (12) divided by the total number of candy-coated chocolate pieces (75).

Probability = 12/75 = 0.16

To express this as a percentage, multiply by 100:

Probability = 0.16 x 100 = 16%

Therefore, the probability that Maelynn pulls out a red candy-coated chocolate piece is 16%.
