This is not the best kind of application since unit price goes down with increasing net contents in the package. Very small for your example.

Your exercise likely expects a proportion.
Note also, 1 liters is 33.814 fluid ounces.
Two liters is 67.63 fluid ounces.

1.29%2F64=p%2F67.63
Find p.

no way to know, unless it's specified that the cost is directly related to the amount of soda.
==================
Usually, larger volumes cost less per unit volume than smaller volumes.
