He now buys 4/2=<<4/2=2>>2 coffees

The new price is 2*.5=$<<2*.5=1>>1 more than the old price

So he now pays 2+1=$<<2+1=3>>3 per coffee

So he spends 3*2=$<<3*2=6>>6

He used to spend 4*2=$<<4*2=8>>8

So he saves 8-6=$<<8-6=2>>2 per day

John used to buy 4 coffees a day for $2 each.  They raised the price by 50% so he cut the number of coffees he drinks in half.  How much money does he save per day compared to what he used to spend?
