Answer: 5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of times that he saved $75 be x.

Let the number of times that he saved $150 be y.

Therefore, based on the information given in the question, we can form an equation which will be:

x + y = 8 ...... i

75x + 150y = 825 ....... ii

From equation I,

x + y = 8

y = 8 - x....... iiii

Put equation iii into ii and this will be:

75x + 150y = 825

75x + 150(8 - x) = 825

75x + 1200 - 150x = 825

75x - 150x = 825 - 1200

-75x = -375

x = 375/75

x = 5

He saved $75 5times from his paycheck.
