To find out how much money Pete saved by buying the 4 CDs on sale, we need to compare the sale price to the original price.
First, let's determine the original price of each CD:
We know that during the sale, 2 CDs were priced at $12.50. Therefore, one CD would cost $12.50 / 2 = $6.25.
Now, let's calculate the total cost of 4 CDs at the original price:
$6.25 x 4 = $<<6.25*4=25>>25
So, if Pete had bought 4 CDs at their original price, he would have spent $25.
Next, let's calculate the total cost of the 4 CDs on sale:
During the sale, 4 CDs were bought for $12.50.
Therefore, Pete saved:
Total cost without the sale - Total cost with the sale
$25 - $12.50 = $<<25-12.5=12.5>>12.5
Pete saved $12.50 by buying the 4 CDs on sale.
