Let 5 M&M candies and 3 Starbursts candies be referred to as the unit amounts of each candy. 5 M&M candies make one unit so 25 makes 25 / 5 = 5 units of M&M candies. For every unit of 5 M&M candies, there is a corresponding unit of 3 Starbursts candies so for 5 units of M&M, she has 5 units of 3 Starbursts candies which is = 5 * 3 = 15 Starbursts candies.
Therefore, the answer is 15.
