A bar graph shows the number of hamburgers sold by a fast food chain each season.  However, the bar indicating the number sold during the winter is covered by a smudge.  If exactly <math>25\% </math> of the chain's hamburgers are sold in the fall, how many million hamburgers are sold in the winter?
