Unit prices and sales that are not really sales, sentence 0

To compare a small pack and a big pack fairly, work out the price for the same amount, called the unit price: four small 250 ml juices at 50p make a litre for £2, but the 1 litre bottle is £1.60, so the big one saves 40p a litre.

Who acts: you, price, four small ml juices, big one · What happens: compare, work out, call, make, save · To what, where: small pack, price, unit price, litre, 40 p · Speech: someone speaks here
