To find the probability that the jelly bean picked is not red, we first need to determine the number of red jelly beans in the bag.

Given that 25% of the jelly beans are red, we can calculate the number of red jelly beans by multiplying the total number of jelly beans by 25% (or 0.25).

Number of red jelly beans = 400 * 0.25 = 100

Now that we know there are 100 red jelly beans, we can find the number of non-red jelly beans by subtracting the number of red jelly beans from the total number of jelly beans.

Number of non-red jelly beans = Total number of jelly beans - Number of red jelly beans
Number of non-red jelly beans = 400 - 100 = 300

Finally, we can calculate the probability of picking a non-red jelly bean by dividing the number of non-red jelly beans by the total number of jelly beans.

Probability of picking a non-red jelly bean = Number of non-red jelly beans / Total number of jelly beans
Probability of picking a non-red jelly bean = 300 / 400 = 0.75

Therefore, the probability that the jelly bean picked is not one of the red jelly beans is 0.75 or 75%.
