Answer:

2 50ml bottles

Explanation:

Reading through the question, we have:

For 80mL


C_1 = \pounds 55

For 2 50mL bottles.

The cost is calculated by the original cost + half the original cost.

i.e.


C_2 = \pounds 45 + (1)/(2) * \pounds 45


C_2 = \pounds 45 + \pounds 22.5


C_2 = \pounds 67.5

Next, is to calculate the unit price of each.

For 80mL


C_1 = \pounds 55


Unit\ price = 55/80


Unit\ price = 0.6875

For 2 50mL bottles.


C_2 = \pounds 67.5


Unit\ price - 67.5/(2 * 50)


Unit\ price = 67.5/100


Unit\ price = 0.675

By comparison, the 2 50mL is the best buy because it has smaller unit price
