Answer:

<em>Martin saved $75 on the television because of the sale</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

Let's call x=the original price of the television (before discount).

The television had been on sale for 25% off, this means the discount was:

25% of x = \frac{25}{100}.x = 0.25x

The sale price was the original price minus the discount:

x - 0.25x = 0.75x

This is what Martin paid, thus:

0.75x = 225

Dividing by 0.75:

x = 225 / 0.75

x = $300

The original price of the television was $300, and the discount was:

0.25*$300 = $75

Martin saved $75 on the television because of the sale
