Which is the best value for money? a 300ml bottle of shower gel priced £2.25 or a 125ml bottle of shower gel priced 90p?

Mike Jones

PhD at University of Oxford in Theoretical Physics

In order to answer this question, you need to work out the price per ml. 300ml bottle: 2.25/300 = £0.0075 per ml 125ml bottle: 0.9/125 = £0.0072 per ml. Therefore, the 125ml bottle is better value for money.
