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 = = 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
